Issue/Bug Description:

Running sudo apt update then sudo apt upgrade results in the following error message:

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:
 system76-power : Conflicts: power-profiles-daemon but 0.10.1-3 is to be installed
E: Broken packages

I'm rather unfamiliar with the intricacies of package management, but I've found a few tidbits of information that might help:

  • According to apt show system76-power, that package (system76-power) does conflict with power-profiles-daemon.
  • ...and yet, according to apt-cache rdepends power-profiles-daemon, system76-power depends on power-profiles-daemon. (Have I misinterpreted something?)
  • Neither system76-power nor power-profiles-daemon are in the list of packages given by apt list --upgradable, and the latter package isn't installed in the first place.
  • gnome-shell, which depends on power-profiles-daemon, is in the list of packages to upgrade (from 42.5-0ubuntu1pop1~1675984688~22.04~f574f54 to 42.9-0ubuntu2, which somehow doesn't look like it's supposed to happen).

Steps to reproduce (if you know):

Well, I simply ran sudo apt update followed by sudo apt upgrade. But, given the lack of identical reports, I assume that's not all there is to it. Could the fact that I use XFCE be relevant?

Expected behavior:

The update should work, and not try to install conflicting packages.

Other Notes:

I've found the Pop!_Shop to be unstable in the past, so I tend to avoid it. (Though, I believe it's been improved over time.) Still, I went ahead and tried using it to update after apt failed, and got a somewhat different error message. Intriguing...

Failed to update “Operating System Updates”

This may have been caused by sideloaded or manually compiled software, a third-party software source, or a package manager error. Manually refreshing updates may resolve the issue.

Details

The following packages have unmet dependencies:
  systemd-timesyncd: Conflicts: time-daemon
  chrony: Conflicts: time-daemon
          Conflicts: time-daemon
  steam-installer: Depends: steam-libs-i386 (= 1:1.0.0.78~ds-3~1702068998~22.04~9dee6ed)

(Manually refreshing updates does not resolve the issue.)

Based on what I found with gnome-control-center and gnome-shell, I tried on a whim to hold back all gnome packages.

sudo apt-mark hold gnome*
sudo apt update
sudo apt upgrade

The update succeeded. However, cancelling the hold and trying again, as expected, still fails. So, as of now, it appears impossible to upgrade some set of gnome packages, which may or may not be all gnome packages.

It looks like you no longer have the apt.pop-os.org sources in your apt configuration. Note that the version of system76-power claims its source as /var/lib/dpkg/status instead of apt.pop-os.org.

@mmstick Thanks for the info. Unfortunately, I'm operating past the edge of my understanding, so I'll poke you for a bit more info, if that's alright 😅

If the apt.pop-os.org sources are missing from my apt configuration, how would I add them back?

Are the files /etc/apt/sources.list.d/pop-os-apps.sources and /etc/apt/sources.list.d/pop-os-release.sources relevant? They both exist, and, by my understanding, are enabled. Here's their content:

samuel@sling-shot:/etc/apt/sources.list.d$ cat pop-os-apps.sources 
X-Repolib-Name: Pop_OS Applications
Enabled: yes
Types: deb
URIs: http://apt.pop-os.org/proprietary
Suites: jammy
Components: main
samuel@sling-shot:/etc/apt/sources.list.d$ cat pop-os-release.sources

Enabled: yes

The issue has inexplicably disappeared. If you guys did something behind the scenes to fix it, then thank you. Otherwise... ehhhhh?

We haven't done anything, no.
