These two packages can't coexist, so you're going to have to pick
one to get rid of.

I did an "apt-cache show marco", and it's a window manager intended
to be used by MATE.

I did "apt-cache show gnome-themes-more" and it doesn't exist in
Debian 12 at all.  It must have been removed at some point, or else
it came from a third party source.  (That "*deb0.8" version string
looks a little odd to me, too.)

So... figure out which of these two packages you can live without,
get rid of it, and then retry the upgrade.

Two packages both trying to supply the same file, without a Conflicts:
line or something equivalent, should be considered a bug, if they're
both Debian packages.  If one of them's third-party, then of course
all bets are off.



Thank you. I removed gnome-themes-more as I mostly use MATE. (Did not check whether Gnome would suffer by any means :-)
