18)     lxqt-qtplugin recommends lxqt-session

21)     lxqt-config recommends lxqt-session
22)     lxqt-panel recommends lxqt-notificationd
23)     lxqt-runner recommends lxqt-policykit
24)     lxqt-session recommends lxqt-notificationd
25)     lxqt-session recommends lxqt-policykit

Accept this solution? [Y/n/q/?] q
Abandoning all efforts to resolve these dependencies.
Abort.

And as can be seen apt-listbugs fails to inform me that lxqt-common is
deprecated and needs to be removed from the archive. Please change the
severity and ask for removal so others do not fall into the same trap.

I was under the impression that it might be due the couple of QT
transitions going on atm but then was directed towards the bug.
