[Bug 1917283] Re: "The following packages have been kept back:" bionic requesting focal downloads
I posted this bug report with features I have note here to the pulseaudio group two days ago. No response. The pulseaudio group is implicated as the source of the issue. sent to: pulseaudio-b...@lists.freedesktop.org I posted this as a kernel bug, but perhaps this is a pulseaudio problem. On latest update of kde kubuntu kernel I saw that libpulsedsp was "kept back" from updating. This remains so. The dependencies are listed as items in focal (kubuntu 20.04) however I am running bionic kubuntu 18.04. The situation cannot be resolved. I also note that the list of items (there are 8) are difficult. $ sudo apt upgrade [sudo] password for dad: Reading package lists... Done Building dependency tree Reading state information...

I do not know how many other Focal elements will emerge even if I can resolve these, Additionally, I do not know how to fix these anyhow.

Re: [Bug 1917283] Re: "The following packages have been kept back:" bionic requesting focal downloads
Chris, I did not know the multiple support places that might be involved. I followed the "advice" to report this problem from the updater, which led me to the Kernel group. I use apt, apt-get, and aptitude (depending on the difficulty) for updating. I did spend a long time (from the latest bionic kernel update to now) trying to find a solution for this. I searched all the forums via duckduckgo and none were about a mislaid update element (focal dependencies in bionic distro). I thought that the problem might have been caused by the kernel dependencies list when the kernel was updated. An incidental "solution" may well relate to the other resources you suggest, however, this problem only occurred on update of the kernel to 136 from 135. In that update, the packages did not (from my pea brained memory) include the ones in the bug report. I did note that libc6 was listed as a dependency from 27 to 29 for some of the focal components when I did a build-dep request in apt-get. Since I am not adept at the specific kernel ancillary dependencies that are met to perform the update, and since the problem started with the update, I thought the bug was properly made. I have kubuntu (kde) version of ubuntu which is oriented towards audio elements. Some kernel items (I am guessing) include MIDI devices, audio steam control and linking [pulseaudio], etc. Are distro kernel dependencies verified for release compatibility? That is, are the elements that use the kernel in a given distribution verified anywhere as specific to that kernel long term release, and by whom? The applications looking for focal dependencies may/may-not be focal release. I do not know. Right now this is a bag of worms for me. *Yours in Lionism, Michael F Winthrop Member: Sterling Lions Club, VA Member: EAA Chapter 186, Manassas Apt.

Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. Bug reporting is mostly about finding & fixing problems thus preventing future users from hitting the same bug. I suspect a Support site would be more appropriate, eg. https://answers.launchpad.net/ubuntu. You can also find help with your problem in the support forum of your local Ubuntu community http://loco.ubuntu.com/ or asking at https://askubuntu.com or https://ubuntuforums.org, or for more support options please look at https://discourse.ubuntu.com/t/community-support/709 (Note: you've filed this is as a kernel bug (against the linux kernel) but mention release-upgrade so I wonder if your intended package should be ubuntu-release-upgrader, but a quick scan of your mentioned packages shows numerous 3rd party packages that I don't see matching any supported release of Ubuntu; so I'd suggest seeking support & possibly using ppa-purge, but your description doesn't appear to be about a kernel issue so I'm confused). -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1917283 Title: "The following packages have been kept back:" bionic requesting focal downloads To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1917283/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

apport information ** Tags added: apport-collected ** Description changed: I am happily running Bionic 18.04 Kubuntu (all previous bugs resolved). I decided to upgrade to Focal 20.04 and got a failure for an unsolvable conflict. I discovered a ppa for xenial was the cause. I removed that and then retried. (All my ppa were now for Bionic so it seemed safe) sudo do-release-upgrade Checking for a new Ubuntu release Please install all available updates for your release before upgrading.
