Dear Maintainer,
GNOME Software fails to update system, if the update involves removal of any
package.
Please refer https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-software/-/issues/2232
This issue affects "apt" based package backends, though it's not clear why
"dnf" based package backends are not affected. This issue is fixed in gnome-44
and main (gnome-45) branches. This fix is not available in gnome-43 branch (
and upstream will not be back-porting the fix to gnome-43 branch ).
Since this greatly affects the usability of GNOME Software, it would make sense
to port the patch to gnome-43 branch ( and any relevant branches ) downstream
in Debian & Ubuntu.
Thanks!
