If "apt upgrade" is saying that it removes packages, that is a bug, yes. Please run: apt upgrade -s -o Dir::Log::Solver=/tmp/apt-upgrade-bug.edsp.xz (as normal user; the -s enables simulation so nothing bad can happen) That will create a /tmp/apt-upgrade-bug.edsp.xz file (a few MBs big) you can sent to me (it might be too big for a bug and/or the mailinglist). That file contains information about all packages currently available to you and which of them you have installed – as that changes quiet often and its near impossible to reproduce a problem, especially while a big transition is underway, otherwise. If that package-removing upgrade happened in the past, you can look it up in /var/log/apt/history.log – far less details and harder to reproduce, but at least some chance… I do have to note that I am somewhat dubious through. I have heard that claim quiet often recently and so far it turned out not to be an "apt upgrade" invocation in the end, confusing it with autoremove remarks or didn't expect that some non-t64 and t64 packages became co-installable… but never say never.
