Hi, I’ve this situation when I apt upgrade. There are many pipewire-related packages kept back. Why? How can I solve it?

Thank you!

    I used dist-upgrade and it worked.

    It’s like 6.0 headers were the problem but I removed them with apt autoremove and it still shown the problem. apt dist-upgrade solved it by installing new dependencies. I don’t know why the normal apt update didn’t install them automatically.

      OK, glad you got a result. It is odd, but some dependency issues have been observed lately. I don’t know why full-upgrade didn’t handle that after running that sequence. Here’s a little context;

      dist-upgrade
         dist-upgrade in addition to performing the function of upgrade,
         also intelligently handles changing dependencies with new versions
         of packages; apt-get has a "smart" conflict resolution system, and
         it will attempt to upgrade the most important packages at the
         expense of less important ones if necessary. So, dist-upgrade
         command may remove some packages. The /etc/apt/sources.list file
         contains a list of locations from which to retrieve desired package
         files. See also apt_preferences(5) for a mechanism for overriding
         the general settings for individual packages.
      
      full-upgrade
         full-upgrade performs the function of upgrade but may also remove
         installed packages if that is required in order to resolve a
         package conflict.
