Public bug reported:
On `sudo apt update ; sudo apt upgrade` I got the following error
```
Some packages could not be installed. This may mean that you have
requested an impossible situation or if you are using the unstable
distribution that some required packages have not yet been created
or been moved out of Incoming.
The following information may help to resolve the situation:
The following packages have unmet dependencies.
python3-click-package : Conflicts: python3-click but 6.6-1 is to be installed
E: Broken packages
```
I have the -proposed repository enabled but Software Updater wasn't
installing a certain update to fix bug 1672424 even before I enabled
-proposed, so I'm guessing that's because this broken package blocked
the update.
I fixed this issue by using `apt policy` to check the two packages
mentioned, that showed me that `python3-click` was not installed, I ran
`sudo apt install python3-click` which removed `click` (is that an
issue?!), `python3-click-package`, and installed `python3-click` and
`python3-colorama`. This allowed me to run `sudo apt upgrade`
successfully.
Although I've resolved the issue (albeit by removing packages that maybe
shouldn't be removed?), presumably users shouldn't be expected to
resolve this sort of problem normally? I have some PPAs enabled (for KDE
Connect Indicator, Wine, Spotify, OBS, Neofetch, get-iplayer, Yarn).
