Why does `apt install -f` REMOVE my package?

I'm trying to install Synergy 2.0.11, but I get a dependency issue:
Unpacking synergy (2.0.11.stable~b56+8c94f00f) ...
dpkg: dependency problems prevent configuration of synergy:
synergy depends on libqt5core5a (>= 5.7.0); however:
Version of libqt5core5a:amd64 on system is 5.5.1+dfsg-16ubuntu7.5.
synergy depends on libqt5svg5 (>= 5.6.0~beta); however:
Version of libqt5svg5:amd64 on system is 5.5.1-2build1.
synergy depends on libssl1.1 (>= 1.1.0); however:
Package libssl1.1 is not installed.
synergy depends on libstdc++6 (>= 6); however:
Version of libstdc++6:amd64 on system is 5.4.0-6ubuntu1~16.04.9.
synergy depends on qml-module-qtquick-controls (>= 5.5.0); however:
Package qml-module-qtquick-controls is not installed.
synergy depends on qml-module-qtquick-dialogs (>= 5.5.0); however:
Package qml-module-qtquick-dialogs is not installed.
In the past I've just ran sudo apt -f install
and it picks up the dependencies. Now, however, it's sad and tells me:
The following packages will be REMOVED:
synergy
Why is apt trying to remove my package, and how do I tell it to install the dependencies instead?
apt package-management dpkg dependencies

Synergy is being removed because it is impossible to install the dependencies, probably they are not in any of the repositoriesapt
has access to.

Your 'dependency issue' looks like a version conflict, and apt seems to be properly trying to solve it by removing your incompatible, wrong-version package. You can specify a different solution (like a specific version) in Debian, but that generally won't work in Ubuntu
