Apt upgrade with error warning

Hello,

I am getting Calculating upgrade... Error! when I issue sudo apt upgrade or sudo apt full-upgrade for the past few days.

Also, it postpones reform-desktop-minimal is it an expected result?

$ sudo apt upgrade
Calculating upgrade... Error!   
Not upgrading:             
  reform-desktop-minimal

Thanks.

Hi @shigeru I just talked with apt developer Julian Klode and got word that what you see there can happen when the new solver evaluation is running and it fails but it continues with the classic solver result. So this is probably harmless even though I agree that seeing “Error” looks scary.

It should upgrade fine when you use sudo apt full-upgrade. Can you confirm?

Hello!

Here is the result of the sudo apt full-upgrade I just ran. Still reform-desktop-minimal is not upgraded. I do not know why…

Thank you.
