[Testing - Trixie] Why some packages are not upgraded?

[mirto]

Hi all,
in the last three days apt says that some packages cannot be upgraded and are kept back to the installed version.

Here is what apt says

Code: Select all

mirto@bianco500:~$ sudo apt upgrade

Why these packages are kept back?

What can I do to install the new packages?

[sunrat]

Maybe waiting for some new dependencies, or newly versioned packages.
Try

Code: Select all

apt full-upgrade

You should run that regularly in Testing anyway.

But it's Testing, strange things happen sometimes.

Updates to Testing were held up for weeks I think due to fixing the year 38 issue; now they are all coming down at once. Best to wait a few days as sunrat suggested. I think I borked my Testing install trying to push them through. Oh well!

You are right!
Using full upgrade solves the problem.

BTW I know it is testing so I upgrade every morning as soon as I wake up
