Hi, I’ve this situation when I apt upgrade. There are many pipewire-related packages kept back. Why? How can I solve it?

Thank you!

    If it is phased updates two weeks is not uncommon. In the meantime you can try to fix the packet manager and use full-upgrade which focuses on dependencies.

    sudo apt clean
sudo apt update
sudo dpkg --configure -a
sudo apt install -f
sudo apt full-upgrade
sudo apt autoremove --purge

      I used dist-upgrade and it worked.

      It’s like 6.0 headers were the problem but I removed them with apt autoremove and it still shown the problem. apt dist-upgrade solved it by installing new dependencies. I don’t know why the normal apt update didn’t install them automatically.

        OK, glad you got a result. It is odd, but some dependency issues have been observed lately. I don’t know why full-upgrade didn’t handle that after running that sequence. Here’s a little context;

        dist-upgrade
   dist-upgrade in addition to performing the function of upgrade,
   also intelligently handles changing dependencies with new versions
   of packages; apt-get has a "smart" conflict resolution system, and
   it will attempt to upgrade the most important packages at the
   expense of less important ones if necessary. So, dist-upgrade
   command may remove some packages. The /etc/apt/sources.list file
   contains a list of locations from which to retrieve desired package
   files. See also apt_preferences(5) for a mechanism for overriding
   the general settings for individual packages.

        full-upgrade
   full-upgrade performs the function of upgrade but may also remove
   installed packages if that is required in order to resolve a
   package conflict.
