Bug#1053188:

[Charlie Hagedorn]

As a week has passed and regular updates haven't resolved the issue, so
I've dug in deeper.  Following a suggestion here (
https://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/446729/can-i-see-why-apt-get-install-f-is-removing-my-package
)  was helpful.

It appears that a single package is the root of the trouble. "Holding Back
libsvtav1enc1d1:amd64 rather than change libsvtav1enc1:amd64"

Through a dependency chain, this has downstream impacts to gimp,
gnome-control-center, flowblade, blender, viking, wine64, and more.

$ sudo apt -o Debug::pkgProblemResolver=true dist-upgrade  2>&1 | grep
