I once had problems like this with a low-level display-related package. Two packages turned out to contain the same file, and so only one could remain. I thought it was a packageing problem (such packages should not be in one repository, but it turned out that a previous upgrade (done a year or more ago) hadn't completed properly, and so I still had (and was presumably using) a package from multiple releases ago. I had to delete it using dpkg. apt and aptitude kept failing because of the undeclared conflict. -- hendrik > > Thanks a lot! > > Maxime > > package sources. > On Sun, Oct 17, 2021 at 07:56:47AM -0400, . via Dng wrote: > > On 10/17/21 07:48, terryc wrote: > > > > I'm sorry to report that I tried a dist-upgrade from devuan beowulf > > > > with KDE on an older machine.
