When ever I try to update my system with
Code: Select all
sudo pkcon refresh && sudo pkcon update
I get the error message
Code: Select all
Fatal error: The following packages have unmet dependencies:
  neon-ubuntu-advantage-tools: Breaks: ubuntu-advantage-tools

What do I have to do to fix this problem? Install unmet dependencies? Remove ubuntu-advantage-tools? And how do I do either?

The packages causing packagekit (pkcon) to complain are being 'phased' by Ubuntu, slowly pushing out theses few updates to the packages that apt is showing as being held back.

However, pkcon isn't aware of this new feature in apt, so doesn't really know how to parse and handle the output.



Code: Select all
The following packages have been kept back:
grub-efi-amd64-bin grub-efi-amd64-signed python3-software-properties software-properties-common software-properties-gtk
update-notifier-common

This is normal, and OK. They will get updated soon enough.

Code: Select all
$ apt policy grub-efi-amd64-bin
grub-efi-amd64-bin:
  Installed: 2.06-2ubuntu10
  Candidate: 2.06-2ubuntu14
  Version table:
     2.06-2ubuntu14 500 (phased 55%)
        500 http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu jammy-updates/main amd64 Packages

The phased status on this packages was 40% withing the past couple of days, iirc.
It is probably a good thing that Ubuntu are doing this sort of release with things like grub
