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.

    Debian Stable doesn’t, to be fair! This is just the occasional debian-testing wonkiness.

    And really the only bad thing that happened here was it refusing to install updates. It could be a lot worse.
