This is the second report we receive about buster to bullseye upgrades
leaving some packages in a non-upgraded state with the recommended
upgrade procedure. Both reports involve guile-2.2-libs. Does any of you
see why that could happen? Is this something we should worry about? Do
we need to update the release notes update procedure (is apt upgrade and
apt full-upgrade not enough) or is this the fault of guile-2.2-libs or
apt? I tend to think there is probably a complex relation preventing apt
to do the rigth thing in one go, but as the upgrade happens after a
second run, apparently it's not really blocking
