a few things I sometimes use, not mentioned here...

# apt auto-remove -y
# apt --fix-broken install #with no packages (or specify a solution).
# dpkg -i --auto-deconfigure
# dpkg -i -G # -G do not down Grade

of course, with dpkg you need the package's location.

I hope this helps.

apt will not downgrade a package versions, unless you pin it.

Should you have non-free-firmware in your sources.list? I don't think that would cause this problem but might cause problems with hardware support later.

You can check all available versions (wrt your sources.list) of a package P with

apt-cache policy P

That tells if there are any associated security updates.

You can also review package P (wrt to a larger sources.list) at https://pkginfo.devuan.org/P.

Hello Ralph. I've done all three during the upgrade to Daedalus and I've done the first two multiple times after it to fetch updates to my installed packages. I tried again right now and I did not see any packages that I have not upgraded (and it did fetch the repos again).

Digging a bit deeper it looks like it fails because
lcl-2.2 is not installable because
lcl-gtk2-2.2 is not installable because
fp-units-gtk2 is an unmet dependency because
libatk1.0-dev depends on libatk1.0-0 (= 2.46.0-5) but 2.48.3-1~bpo12+1 is to be installed and, additionally, libatk1.0-dev depends on gir1.2-atk-1.0 (= 2.46.0-5) but 2.48.3-1~bpo12+1 is to be installed.

So I guess they need an exact version but I have a newer one already installed from stable-backports because of gimp-gap.

But gimp-gap needs any libatk1.0-dev version above or equal to 1.12.4, so why isn't apt simply downgrading my libatk1.0-0 version to fix the dependencies?

As for the gir1.2-atk-1.0 dependency it's because lutris depends on gir1.2-gtk-3.0 which in turn depends on gir1.2-atk-1.0 (>= 2.35.1) which once more means that apt should be able to downgrade from the backported 2.48.3 to 2.46.0 and lutris will be happy too.

I guess apt isn't that smart and I need to manually fix the versions of these two packages? (gir1.2-atk-1.0 and libatk1.0-0) Is there anything I need to remember if I fix their versions? For example, how do I know that I'm not missing out on security updates on them?

Have you done

apt-get update

.. or whatever the corresponding button presses are on the gui tool?

Have you done

apt-get upgrade

.. or whatever the corresponding button presses are on the gui tool?

Have you done

apt-get dist-upgrade

.. or whatever the corresponding button presses are on the gui tool?

Thoe are the three steps to follow after having changed sources.list.

I am trying to install lazarus and apt gives me:

 lazarus-2.2 : Depends: lcl-2.2 (>= 2.2.6+dfsg2-2) but it is not installable
               Recommends: fpc

Synaptic also shows red boxes if I try to tick it.

Have I broken my repositories? I'm on Daedalus, recently upgraded from Chimaera.

Here's my sources.list:
