This part of your post concerns me:

I suspect this is the cause of your problem.
Rolling release distributions are fallible, but I don't believe that failure to update regularly is the cause.
- Which packages were 'broken'?
- Which repositories were you using?
At the risk of being labelled an elitist, Manjaro isn't a good target to evaluate stability on. Try reinstalling the Mobian rootfs and let us know how it goes.
Good points, and I wasn't evaluating stability, rather explaining I saw the same error on both.
Meanwhile, I got Manjaro running on a newer release (because it downloaded faster than Mobian yesterday..) and was able to get it in a usable state, so next up will be Mobian.
And while I didn't note every package that was broken wrt Mobian, I can remember off the top of my head
- pinephone-support (some dependency was refusing to upgrade or install), which probably might explain some of the issues I encountered afterwards...
- gnome-authenticator (some dependency was changed from python3-yoyo-migrations to python3-yoyo , and the migrations package was refusing to uninstall)
Eventually I uninstalled them and their troublesome deps and reinstalled the packages and their deps, successfully.
What repos was I using? Whatever default repos Mobian uses..
in either case, can't troubleshoot that further since the emmc has been reflashed already, all I can do now is reflash Mobian
