Hi, I’ve this situation when I apt upgrade. There are many pipewire-related packages kept back. Why? How can I solve it?

Thank you!

    OK, glad you got a result. It is odd, but some dependency issues have been observed lately. I don’t know why full-upgrade didn’t handle that after running that sequence. Here’s a little context;

    dist-upgrade
       dist-upgrade in addition to performing the function of upgrade,
       also intelligently handles changing dependencies with new versions
       of packages; apt-get has a "smart" conflict resolution system, and
       it will attempt to upgrade the most important packages at the
       expense of less important ones if necessary. So, dist-upgrade
       command may remove some packages. The /etc/apt/sources.list file
       contains a list of locations from which to retrieve desired package
       files. See also apt_preferences(5) for a mechanism for overriding
       the general settings for individual packages.
    
    full-upgrade
       full-upgrade performs the function of upgrade but may also remove
       installed packages if that is required in order to resolve a
       package conflict.
