It is true, I didn't use a 'full-upgrade' because I thought the
upgrade succeeded.
Hmm, that Wiki seems to be giving bad advice. $(apt upgrade) will only
do a *part* of the upgrade, as it will only upgrade packages that
don't need new packages or that will not cause other packages to be
removed. As every upgrade from one release to the next involves lots
of library transitions, it's always expect that you need to run $(apt
full-upgrade) or $(apt dist-upgrade). You *can* run $(apt upgrade)
first to do things in reasonable pieces. For an official advice,
please read the release notes:
https://www.debian.org/releases/stable/amd64/release-notes/ch-upgrading.en.html
(or the draft for trixie:
https://www.debian.org/releases/trixie/release-notes/upgrading.en.html)
After I realized all the packages weren't there, I kept installing
more. If the upgrade stops without any obvious error, you seem to
have to run it again to know if it failed, unless I missed something.
That's not the design, as explained above.
Sorry, I'm not sure why quickemu. deletes Caja.
Most likely because it was missing new versions of libraries it
depended on.
