As I said, not a debianite here, but...

If you have libcairo2 (1.10.2-7) installed, and the -dev package it's
trying to install is 1.8.x, then you obviously updated from somewhere, but
either no longer have that repo active, or at least it doesn't have the
-dev version of that package.

One way or another, you need to get the -dev package and the runtime
package to agree on version, whether that's downgrading your current
runtime to match the -dev you have available, or figuring out where to get
a -dev version to match the runtime you have installed.

It may be worth pointing out that if they had the same exact packages,
they'd be the same exact distribution! =:^[  Since you haven't installed
the other one, I'd assume for a good reason, I doubt that'd solve your
problem either.  =:^(
