packages held back

[user641]

Please report this to the mobian devs (on their Matrix channel or https://salsa.debian.org/Mobian-team/met...n/-/issues (if you have a Salsa account)) as this is something they need to fix.

If you have 'aptitude' installed, you can run "aptitude full-upgrade -s" ('-s' = simulate) and it'll tell you why it can't do a safe-upgrade.

I did a sudo apt install mobian-base mobian-phone-base mobian-phosh-base mobian-phosh-phone
and it show me that  would remove some pulseaudio packages and install some pipewire...it's abou that debian transition...we can just wait.  I will report it on salsa, but I am sure they are aware of it.

In that case using full-upgrade is likely the right thing to do.
https://salsa.debian.org/Mobian-team/met...ngelog#L15 shows:

Code:

d/control: switch to pipewire for audio

If pulseaudio was marked as manually installed (thus NOT automatically installed), then you do need to do a full-upgrade.
I think that indicates that the packaging could've been better, but I'm still at the beginning of my learning track wrt those things.

BTW: Kudos for not blindly running full-upgrade (too many ppl break their system by doing that)

thanks for the help and info, I ended up runnig apt install mobian-base mobian-phone-base mobian-phosh-base mobian-phosh-phone. As far as I remeber it's safe than full-upgrade when running testting and sid.
