apt full-upgrade failed at marco-common package
Hi,
I [partially] upgraded buster to bullseye according to official "Release
Notes for Debian 11 (bullseye), 32-bit PC" (October 4, 2023). I did it
in two sessions as suggested:
"4.4.4 Minimal system upgrade" (# apt upgrade --without-new-pkgs). That
part performed without any issue, and cat /etc/debian_version reported
11.8 (previously it was 10.x).
"4.4.5 Upgrading the system" (# apt full-upgrade) ran also fine until
some 20% or so, and then failed when handled marco-common package. Here
are the few last lines of that session:
...

Unpacking mate-settings-daemon-common (1.24.1-1) over (1.20.4-1) ...

'/usr/share/themes/Gorilla/metacity-1/metacity-theme-1.xml', which is
also in package gnome-themes-more 0.9.0.deb0.8
Errors were encountered while processing:
/tmp/apt-dpkg-install-S65GMD/8-marco-common_1.24.1-3_all.deb
A repeated # apt full-upgrade returned a list of unmet dependencies,
including this one:
marco : Depends: marco-common (= 1.24.1-3) but 1.20.3-1 is installed
At the end of the list it suggested: Try 'apt --fix-broken install' with
no packages (or specify a solution). I tried it and it seemed as if it
tried to process again the above lines (unpacking, preparing), to no avail.
What can I try to resolve that? After system reboot, I am able to reach
the rescue mode as root and type commands. (Green 'OK' follow all parts
of boot. GUI, startx fail. Shutdown, poweroff run properly.)
Thank you.
Misko
