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:

...
Preparing to unpack .../6-mate-settings-daemon-common_1.24.1-1_all.deb ...
Unpacking mate-settings-daemon-common (1.24.1-1) over (1.20.4-1) ...

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
