I had to file the > preferences below to mitigate that problem. I have cvs installed on this machine, but mksh is nowhere to be found & it is also not tried to be installed. Further more: > APT::Install-Recommends "false"; > APT::Install-Suggests "0"; (which means you have disabled recommends installation and suggests is disabled (by default), too) So, please disable the preferences file for the moment and run: apt full-upgrade -s -o Debug::pkgProblemResolver=1 -o Debug::pkgDepCache::Marker=1 -o Debug::pkgDepCache::AutoInstall=1 (as non-root please) as that should make apt more talkative about what it does and ideally tells us where it got the mksh idea from. (That is probably a lot of output, so redirecting to a file and attaching it here is adviceable) Best regards David Kalnischkies
