Even if apt could be improved, this would still be a bug in the concerned packages, which must declare adequate relationships to allow the upgrade. See https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=1059068#15 where David Kalnischkies says You should really know this by now as that isn't your first report, but okay: Upgrade problems are NEVER a problem to be solved in apt, they are ALWAYS a problem in the involved packages.

See above. It seems that the issue is that the upgrade of libqt6core6t64 alone seems to remove other Qt packages instead of upgrading them. In particular, "apt install libqt6core6t64" wants to remove qt6-wayland, but if I try "apt install libqt6core6t64 qt6-wayland", then the upgrade is fine. So there seems to be really something wrong with the Qt package relationships. > Have you tried upgrading just libqt6core6t64 with aptitude ? aptitude doesn't want to do anything. aptitude is often much worse (but much safer as it will normally not break "Recommends" without confirmation). And sometimes it can't even handle simple cases, where it has only some dependencies to install. -- Vincent Lefèvre <vinc...@vinc17.net> - Web: <https://www.vinc17.net/> 100% accessible validated (X)HTML - Blog: <https://www.vinc17.net/blog/> Work: CR INRIA - computer arithmetic / AriC project (LIP, ENS-Lyon)
