What exactly causes "apt upgrade" to not be able to upgrade to
libkpmcore9 from libkpmcore8? Below I will show what I figured out so
far. Is there some more detail I could search for? Or is it a bug and
if so, for which package (libkpmcore9 or apt or some other instance)
should I report it?
My OS is Debian testing ("Bullseye"), kernel-release 5.4.0-4-amd64 and
kernel-version being #1 SMP Debian 5.4.19-1 (2020-02-13), besides the
below mentioned packages upgraded to the newest package versions.
I have done the following to clarify the situation, which shows that
the hold back is caused by the dependency libkpmcore9:
apt upgrade partitionmanager -s
The following packages have unmet dependencies:
partitionmanager : Depends: libkpmcore9 (>= 4.1.0) but it is not
going to be installed
E: Broken packages
Chances are, there is more coming from the maintainers. Simply waiting
a week or so may clear this up. The dependencies don't work because
another package needs to be upgraded or installed that hasn't yet been
uploaded to the mirrors. This happens frequently in testing and Sid
(and experimental).
