Hi,
I'm having a problem on both my Sid machines where I'm getting a lot(470+) of packages held back when running apt. I thouht maybe it was me, but I checked on my server and had over 100, and thats on a pretty lean install. When I was trying to see why so many packages where being held back by running apt install "package name" it was proposing removing a bunch of packages, I obviously declined. So before I go digging to deep into all this mess I will give it few days as most apt issues get sorted out pretty quick, thanks to all the dev that work on sid.

There's a massive transition ongoing in Sid currently, see - viewtopic.php?t=158477
