Hmm, gnome-shell-dbgsym (3.28.3+git20190124-0ubuntu18.04.1) installs just fine if you install it afterwards.
AFAIK most packages avoid this problem by automatically uninstalling debug symbol packages before updating the binary packages (which is annoying in itself). It appears that didn't happen in your case. Possible workaround: Just uninstall gnome-shell-dbgsym, update the system and then reinstall gnome-shell-dbgsym. ** Tags added: bionic ** Changed in: gnome-shell (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided => Low -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to gnome-shell in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1819816 Title: Gnome-shell-dbgsym is out of date Status in gnome-shell package in Ubuntu: Incomplete Bug description: I am using bionic updates repository, and I can't install the debug symbols for gnome-shell. gnome-shell-dbgsym Is out of date gnome-shell-dbgsym : Depends: gnome-shell (= 3.28.3+git20190124-0ubuntu18.04.1) but 3.28.3-0ubuntu0.18.04.4 is to be installed E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages.
