Got the following error message:
E: /var/cache/apt/archives/qtvirtualkeyboard-plugin_5.7.1+dfsg-1_amd64.deb: trying to overwrite ‘/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/qt5/plugins/platforminputcontexts/libqtvirtualkeyboardplugin.so’, which is also in package qtvirtualkeyboard 5.7.1-0neon+9+build5

Sounds like a packaging issue between the neon and debian repositories. Looks to me as if the debian repository has somehow been raised in priority over the neon repository. Hopefully one of our Debian version support staff will be able to help you fix this.
Can you run sudo apt-get install -f in a terminal to identify the package that is causing the issue.
Also just out of curiosity did you change your repositories somehow? (added or activated other repositories that don’t come by default)
When I run “sudo apt-get install -f”, I get the following:
tony@NR-U56E:~$ sudo apt-get install -f

When it comes to repository changes, quite a while back I followed the instructions for enabling continuous updates which basically had me select all of the repositories that were not selected.
I had also installed Oracle Java, which is why the Webupd8team was added. I am not sure that this was the proper way to go about that in Debian. That is how always did it with previous versions of Netrunner that were Ubuntu based. If there is a better or different way to go about this on the new Debian based Netrunner, please advise.
I also had previously installed Opera browser which added that repository.
I have run updates countless times since making the changes mentioned above without any issues. The problem started when during a recent set of updates, it is trying to “Install” “qtvirtualkeybord-plugin”, and “Update” “qml-module-qtquick-virtualkeyboard”
Just Yesterday I had a problem with VirtualBox not working due to vboxdrv not existing so I reinstalled it and that is when that repository was added. Again the problems with the above mentioned updates were happening before that as well.
I have attached print screens of my repository list, and the screen that shows the changes that synaptic was trying to make. The Highlighted Repository on RepoPage2 was the last repository on RepoPage1. Hope this helps.
