Hi fhireman,
When packages are uninstallable using the normal 'sudo apt upgrade' command, I typically attempt an upgrade the specific uninstallable package. For example, executing the command below in a terminal...
sudo apt install firmware-realtek-rtl8723cs-bt
What happens next is typically a message that gives a clue that explains (at least partially) why the package is not installed. I then enter the important parts of the message into a web search for a possible solution. Sometimes I get lucky and someone else had a similar issue with a fix.
If the above does not help, then you might consider the following command....
sudo apt install firmware-misc-nonfree
Note: Use of the above commands come with no warranty, assurance of success or otherwise. Use at your own risk. :-)
Good luck
