Hi all,
Yes, I know... I'm just upgrading now. This is an old machine that I usually
boot into Parabola, but decided to upgrade the Trisquel install, but it
failed.
In /var/log/dist-upgrade/main.log I found:
2019-11-03 20:23:41,050 DEBUG blacklist expr 'trisquel-desktop-common'
matches 'trisquel-desktop-common-recommended'
2019-11-03 20:23:41,050 DEBUG The package
'trisquel-desktop-common-recommended' is marked for removal but it's in the
removal blacklist
2019-11-03 20:23:41,138 ERROR Dist-upgrade failed: 'The package
'trisquel-desktop-common-recommended' is marked for removal but it is in the
removal blacklist.'
And in /var/log/dist-upgrade/20191103-2020/apt.log I found:
Investigating (5) trisquel-desktop-common-recommended [ amd64 ] < 7.0-39 ->
8.0-34 > ( metapackages )

There are a lot of similar messages with all manner of packages, so I'm
guessing that the problem is not something peculiar to
trisquel-desktop-common-recommended, but something systemic gone wrong when
calculating the upgrade.
Any suggestions on what to do to fix this?
I have run apt-get update, apt-get upgrade and apt-get dist-upgrade.
