[SOLVED] error 500 while upgrading

Yo,

Not upgrading:
  gstreamer1.0-plugins-bad  libgstreamer-plugins-bad1.0-0  python3-apt

doas apt-cache policy gstreamer1.0-plugins-bad libgstreamer-plugins-bad1.0-0 python3-apt

gives :

python3-apt

Does anyone know why only those packages get error 500 ? Everything else is going well and upgrading

Re: [SOLVED] error 500 while upgrading

The reason for holding back an upgrade would be becuse it wants to bring in another, new package, which is something an upgrade doesn't do. You can find out which new package is concerned and install that, or you maybe do a dist-upgrade instead.

That depends on a package in the unstable/ceres that does not exist.

root@9600k:~# apt install -s -t unstable  python3-apt

Some packages could not be installed. This may mean that you have
requested an impossible situation or if you are using the unstable
distribution that some required packages have not yet been created
or been moved out of Incoming.
The following information may help to resolve the situation:

Unsatisfied dependencies:
 python3-apt : Depends: libapt-pkg7.0 (>= 2.9.27+exp1) but it is not installable
Error: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages.
root@9600k:~# apt-cache policy libapt-pkg7.0
libapt-pkg7.0:
  Installed: (none)
  Candidate: (none)

Are you using unstable too, green ? No problemo ?

Yeah, have to wait for the devs to do the stuff I think, thanks for precision.

I use the testing/unstable combination with apt pinning to get the packages from testing first then if needed from the unstable if they have not got there yet. It works well without problems.
