virt-manager not installable in excalibur

Hi!
I recently upgraded my laptop to excalibur. virt-manager worked fine in daedalus, but it's not posible to install it in excalibur due to a unfulfilled dependency:

$ sudo apt install virt-manager
No se pudieron instalar algunos paquetes. Esto puede significar que
usted pidió una situación imposible o, si está usando la distribución
inestable, que algunos paquetes necesarios aún no se han creado o se
han sacado de «Incoming».
La siguiente información puede ayudar a resolver la situación:

Unsatisfied dependencies:
 python3-libvirt : Depende: libvirt0 (>= 10.2.0) pero 10.0.0-1devuan1 va a ser instalado
Error: No se pudieron corregir los problemas, usted ha retenido paquetes rotos.

I looked for this package in debian repositories and found there version 10.5.0-1 (for trixie: https://packages.debian.org/trixie/libvirt0). (I don`t know if that has anytingo to do with my issue).
Does someone know if there will be a solution for that?

Patience. excalibur is currently 'testing' and such issues are usually solved in one or some days.

If you like to test you can get almost any package (not some devuan specific) manually from here. In your case: libvirt0_10.5.0-1

Re: virt-manager not installable in excalibur

Thanks for the suggestion.
I installed the package, but now other needed packages have unsatisfied denendencies of libvirt0 ( 10.0.0-1devuan1)

$ sudo apt install virt-manager 
Tal vez quiera ejecutar «apt --fix-broken install» para corregirlo.
Unsatisfied dependencies:
 libvirt-clients : Depende: libvirt0 (= 10.0.0-1devuan1) pero 10.5.0-1 va a ser instalado
 libvirt-daemon : Depende: libvirt0 (= 10.0.0-1devuan1) pero 10.5.0-1 va a ser instalado

                Recomienda: gir1.2-ayatanaappindicator3-0.1 pero no va a instalarse o
                            gir1.2-appindicator3-0.1 pero no es instalable
                Recomienda: gir1.2-spiceclientglib-2.0 pero no va a instalarse
                Recomienda: gir1.2-spiceclientgtk-3.0 pero no va a instalarse
Error: Dependencias incumplidas. Intente «apt --fix-broken install» sin paquetes (o especifique una solución).

So, it seems I have to wait :-)

Re: virt-manager not installable in excalibur

It is not simple and sometimes it is not safe.
Before an actual installation attempt it is safer to check the package's dependencies running "dpkg -I package.deb"  to figure out which packages should be upgraded first.
I would write a script for showing the dep tree and auto installation but I do not do manual installations often. Why bother automating things that happen once a year?
