We’re on Debian testing(+unstable) and running into update issues. apt upgrade doesn’t touch anything, and apt full-upgrade wants to upgrade 2 libreoffice packages, not touch the 341 other upgrades, and remove the main libreoffice package.

How cursed of an idea is it to just sudo apt install $(apt-mark showmanual)? That looks like it would upgrade everything, while just removing a couple hopefully-inconsequential system libraries.

    aptitude will show you what’s broken. Have a look at that and see if it’s worth fixing it one package at a time, or just better to wait for the missing packages to land

      Hmm. aptitude full-upgrade came up with a solution that’s pretty similar to apt install’s solution.

      I think the problem might be packages with version numbers in their names (libpyside6-py3-6.9). Also something about xwaylandvideobridge. I think I heard about that getting removed, or something? So maybe we can just uninstall it. (We’re on X11 anyway.)
