Package upgrade then remove loop

[Snowhog]

i am guessing that your scripts from ucare etc are using aptitude or something else?, which (imnsho) can be too much of a blunt instrument in some situations.
Also ucare systems's scripts probably have not been updated to keep up with Jammy', the last update seems to have been 2018

No. See https://launchpad.net/~utappia/+arch...s_filter=jammy His script is updated through Kinetic.

The script uses sudo apt full-upgrade to update packages and libraries, and sudo apt-get -y --purge autoremove to remove unneeded packages, and sudo apt-get -y autoclean; sudo apt-get -y clean to remove package files that can no longer be downloaded and everything except the lock file in /var/cache/apt/archives.

I've had no issues using this script, and as stated, this particular issue presented on October 11. It has persisted since.

I assume using straight-up apt update and apt full-upgrade produced the same results as your scripted usage of it via uCare?

Yes.

sudo apt update && sudo apt full-upgrade

The following packages were automatically installed and are no longer required:
  kwin-wayland-backend-fbdev kwin-wayland-backend-virtual kwin-wayland-backend-wayland kwin-wayland-backend-x11
Use 'sudo apt autoremove' to remove them.
The following NEW packages will be installed:
  kwin-wayland-backend-fbdev kwin-wayland-backend-virtual kwin-wayland-backend-wayland kwin-wayland-backend-x11
The following packages have been kept back:
  grub-efi-amd64-bin grub-efi-amd64-signed gwenview kwin-common kwin-data kwin-wayland kwin-wayland-backend-drm kwin-x11 libkf5filemetadata-bin libokular5core10 libqt5webengine-data libqt5webengine5 libqt5webenginecore5 libqt5webenginewidgets5 okular okular-backends

[claydoh]

No. See https://launchpad.net/~utappia/+arch...s_filter=jammy His script is updated through Kinetic.

Yes, but the actual code of the scripting, version 4.4.0, is from 2018.
https://github.com/Utappia/uCareSyst...ses/tag/v4.4.0

Apt itself has changed in small ways since then, is what I am postulating, or very blindly theorizing about.

But anyway, those 4 loopy 'dummy' packages can be uninstalled and solve the problem that seems to only be happening to, or rather reported by you, as far as my travels can find so far.
I am smacking my head for not noticing the package type earlier and saved the headaches.

Description: transitional package
This is a dummy package which can be removed. <<<<<<<<<<<

My issue is that the update/full-uprade process is installing these packages, then removing them afterwards (with --purge). Some package I have installed is pointing to these packages as dependencies, but apt is complaining about them.

[claydoh]

Hmmm

Might need to look at reverse-depends to find what is insisting on yanking these puppies back in. apt-rdepends -r packagename will show that, after you install apt-rdepends.

apt policy kwin-wayland-backend-x11 to show what version is currently installed as well as the version that wants to be installed
Maybe want to see this info for all 4

What files do you have in /etc/apt/preferences.d/:
Maybe an oddball pin file, since they were mucking around there for a bit early on?

if necessary we can run a diff on yours against stock ones from the latest iso or fresh install

With this info I might at least be able to ask the devs what might be happening on matrix chat, and give them some info to go on.

The following packages have been kept back: grub-efi-amd64-bin grub-efi-amd64-signed gwenview kwin-common kwin-data kwin-wayland kwin-wayland-backend-drm kwin-x11 libkf5filemetadata-bin libokular5core10 libqt5webengine-data libqt5webengine5 libqt5webenginecore5 libqt5webenginewidgets5 okular okular-backends

Oddly I keep ignoring or not noticing all the extra held packages in that post-- these are not all on the phased package list. Are you still seeing these, particularly the ones not involving grub? or did they clear themselves up? Those grub ones definitely are phased: https://people.canonical.com/~ubuntu...d-updates.html


What is odd is that these 4 loopy packages are marked as not installed, yet get marked for autoremoval.
I wonder if a database is corrupt or something similar?

What shows for these packages in /var/lib/dpkg/status, if anything?

[Snowhog]

It's extremely difficult (for me) to have to type using only one arm due to the cast. Grrrrr!

First, the looping issue is no more. I don't 'think' I saw it today, but I could be wrong. Now, I'm just seeing:

The following packages have been kept back:
grub-efi-amd64-bin grub-efi-amd64-signed kwin-common kwin-data kwin-wayland kwin-wayland-backend-drm kwin-x11 libkf5filemetadata-bin libqt5webengine-data libqt5webengine5 libqt5webenginecore5 libqt5webenginewidgets5
0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 12 not upgraded.

I did purge okular and gwenview before running the ucare script. Both were in the identified held back packages.

[claydoh]

It's extremely difficult (for me) to have to type using only one arm due to the cast. Grrrrr!

See if I can keep it to copy-paste

So we need to see why these packages are held back, so we will try to install one of them manually
Example:

apt policy kwin-x11
kwin-x11:
Installed: 4:5.26.2.1-0xneon+22.04+jammy+release+build18
Candidate: 4:5.26.2.1-0xneon+22.04+jammy+release+build18
Version table:
*** 4:5.26.2.1-0xneon+22.04+jammy+release+build18 500
​<snipped>

Looking to install the Candidate version, mine happens to be fine your will be different.

sudo apt install kwin-x11=4:5.26.2.1-0xneon+22.04+jammy+release+build18

And see the dependency errors, hopefully it is something obvious.

Also paste the output of the contents of the dir /etc/apt/preferences.d/ (don't worry if the formatting is off)

ls -la /etc/apt/preferences.d/

I want to compare pin files, maybe there is something there, Can dig in to actual contents if needed. But extra files are what I am looking for, I think.

I think we have a winner:

-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 6860 Sep 14 09:38 98-jammy-overrides
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 5682 Nov 1 07:10 99-jammy-overrides​

There should only be the 99-jammy-overrides file
I have not looked at the differences, but they are not the same size.
I'd suggest (re)moving the 98-jammy-overrides file and seeing what happens......

[Snowhog]

There should only be the 99-jammy-overrides file

Removed 98-jammy-overrides then logged out/back in and ran the ucare script.

To be honest I probably should have caught this earlier, I kinda sorta knew your upgrade was an early one.

[Snowhog]

System updates are now looking as they should. What is reported with the update I just ran.
