Thank you!

If it is phased updates two weeks is not uncommon. In the meantime you can try to fix the packet manager and use
full-upgrade
which focuses on dependencies.sudo apt clean sudo apt update sudo dpkg --configure -a sudo apt install -f sudo apt full-upgrade sudo apt autoremove --purge
I used
dist-upgrade
and it worked.It’s like 6.0 headers were the problem but I removed them with
apt autoremove
and it still shown the problem.apt dist-upgrade
solved it by installing new dependencies. I don’t know why the normalapt update
didn’t install them automatically.OK, glad you got a result. It is odd, but some dependency issues have been observed lately. I don’t know why
full-upgrade
didn’t handle that after running that sequence. Here’s a little context;dist-upgrade dist-upgrade in addition to performing the function of upgrade, also intelligently handles changing dependencies with new versions of packages; apt-get has a "smart" conflict resolution system, and it will attempt to upgrade the most important packages at the expense of less important ones if necessary. So, dist-upgrade command may remove some packages. The /etc/apt/sources.list file contains a list of locations from which to retrieve desired package files. See also apt_preferences(5) for a mechanism for overriding the general settings for individual packages.
full-upgrade full-upgrade performs the function of upgrade but may also remove installed packages if that is required in order to resolve a package conflict.
