As he made clear later on, he rejected this because he has (or wants to have) packages from external repositories which depend on libgcc1 by that name and which he isn't willing to give up. IOW, not only is he running sid (unofficial motto: "whenever it breaks, you get to keep all the pieces"), he's also running a partial FrankenDebian (those external repositories' URLs indicate that they correspond to buster, not to sid), and is complaining that an apparently internally consistent state of packages in sid isn't consistent with the state of packages in those external repositories. The only solution here I can think of offhand would be to rebuild the packages from those external repositories to reflect the new package names that exist in sid. As it happens, libgcc-s1 is also the package in testing at the moment (albeit at an earlier version), so there's more of a case for convincing the upstreams of those repositories to do that rebuild now rather than later - but it's probably theoretically possible to do it locally, too. (Well, switching to track a newer-than-buster version of those external repositories, or to track buster itself instead of sid for the internal repositories, would also resolve the conflict. But the former may not exist, and the latter would involve significant downgrades from what he's probably already installed, so neiterh is likely to be considered a real solution.) -- The Wanderer The reasonable man adapts himself to the world; the unreasonable one persists in trying to adapt the world to himself.
