Held Back Packages on Debian Sid
Hello everyone!
I switched to Sid from Stable last month and everything seems to be going great. I have setup Timeshift to take snapsnots once everyday, in case, any packages break.
I use GNU Octave 6.2 and it depends on older version of libhypre. There's a newer version of libhypre available from apt and it has been held back. If I try to upgrade libhypre using full-upgrade (which is not recommended, of course) or install it manually, apt tries to remove Octave. What are my options here? Should I be okay with packages getting held back? Also, will libhypre be upgrade when there's a newer version of GNU Octave available? In general, if some package x depends on a package y and there's a upgrade available for y, will both x and y be upgraded when there's an upgrade available for x?
Thanking You!
Best Regards,
Ashish Kujur.
