Package: aptitude Version: 0.8.13-5 Severity: normal With the aptitude TUI or command line, it is not possible to upgrade wireshark to 4.2.0-1 without explicitly upgrading wireshark-common too or removing wireshark-qt. With both interfaces, the proposed default is to keep both wireshark and wireshark-qt at their current version, and for the alternative actions, aptitude never proposes to upgrade wireshark.
Note that the wireshark package now has: Replaces: wireshark-gtk (<< 3.0.0~), wireshark-qt Breaks: wireshark-gtk (<< 3.0.0~), wireshark-qt That's why wireshark-qt is no longer useful and could be safely removed. For instance, with the command line: # aptitude install wireshark The following NEW packages will be installed: libnghttp3-3{a} libopencore-amrnb0{a} libqt6dbus6{a} libqt6gui6{a} libqt6multimedia6{a} libqt6network6{a} libqt6opengl6{a} libqt6printsupport6{a} libqt6qml6{a} libqt6qmlmodels6{a} libqt6quick6{a} libqt6waylandclient6{a} libqt6waylandcompositor6{a} libqt6waylandeglclienthwintegration6{a} libqt6waylandeglcompositorhwintegration6{a} libqt6widgets6{a} libqt6wlshellintegration6{a} libts0{a} libwireshark17{a} libwiretap14{a} libwsutil15{a} qt6-gtk-platformtheme{a} qt6-qpa-plugins{a} qt6-wayland{a} The following packages will be REMOVED: wireshark-qt{a} The following packages will be upgraded: libwireshark-data wireshark{b} wireshark-doc 3 packages upgraded, 24 newly installed, 1 to remove and 74 not upgraded. Need to get 48.7 MB of archives. After unpacking 172 MB will be used. The following packages have unmet dependencies: wireshark : Depends: wireshark-common (= 4.2.0-1) but 4.0.11-1 is installed and it is kept back The following actions will resolve these dependencies: Keep the following packages at their current version: 1) wireshark [4.0.11-1 (now)] 2) wireshark-qt [4.0.11-1 (now, unstable)] Accept this solution? [Y/n/q/?] BTW, concerning the unmet dependency wireshark : Depends: wireshark-common (= 4.2.0-1) but 4.0.11-1 is installed and it is kept back why doesn't aptitude propose to upgrade wireshark-common? That's the obvious solution! Indeed, the following works: # aptitude install wireshark wireshark-common The following NEW packages will be installed: libnghttp3-3{a} libopencore-amrnb0{a} libqt6dbus6{a} libqt6gui6{a} libqt6multimedia6{a} libqt6network6{a} libqt6opengl6{a} libqt6printsupport6{a} libqt6qml6{a} libqt6qmlmodels6{a} libqt6quick6{a} libqt6waylandclient6{a} libqt6waylandcompositor6{a} libqt6waylandeglclienthwintegration6{a} libqt6waylandeglcompositorhwintegration6{a} libqt6widgets6{a} libqt6wlshellintegration6{a} libts0{a} libwireshark17{a} libwiretap14{a} libwsutil15{a} qt6-gtk-platformtheme{a} qt6-qpa-plugins{a} qt6-wayland{a} The following packages will be REMOVED: libwireshark16{u} libwiretap13{u} libwsutil14{u} wireshark-qt{a} The following packages will be upgraded: libwireshark-data wireshark wireshark-common wireshark-doc 4 packages upgraded, 24 newly installed, 4 to remove and 73 not upgraded.

[Y/n/?] and so does # aptitude install wireshark wireshark-qt- The following NEW packages will be installed: libnghttp3-3{a} libopencore-amrnb0{a} libqt6dbus6{a} libqt6gui6{a} libqt6multimedia6{a} libqt6network6{a} libqt6opengl6{a} libqt6printsupport6{a} libqt6qml6{a} libqt6qmlmodels6{a} libqt6quick6{a} libqt6waylandclient6{a} libqt6waylandcompositor6{a} libqt6waylandeglclienthwintegration6{a} libqt6waylandeglcompositorhwintegration6{a} libqt6widgets6{a} libqt6wlshellintegration6{a} libts0{a} libwireshark17{a} libwiretap14{a} libwsutil15{a} qt6-gtk-platformtheme{a} qt6-qpa-plugins{a} qt6-wayland{a} The following packages will be REMOVED: libwireshark16{u} libwiretap13{u} libwsutil14{u} wireshark-qt The following packages will be upgraded: libwireshark-data wireshark wireshark-common wireshark-doc 4 packages upgraded, 24 newly installed, 4 to remove and 73 not upgraded.
