Can anyone using the Byzantium repo confirm seeing this? I updated today and btrfs-progs was held back

Obviously my biggest concern is the pureos and gnome uninstalls seen there.

Decided to trust the process and installed, lol. Everything seems fine except my librem key disk decrypt script stopped working.

Yes. Same problem here.

btrfs-progs is one of the packages held back, I haven’t tried to investigate why or update it. I just tried and this gives:

I’m not going to try this.

Hmm, isn’t this superscary!? Can I login after a reboot or does this mean my laptop is bricked?

I am “stuck” with this situation:

The following packages have been kept back:
  btrfs-progs
0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 1 not upgraded.

If I was to reinstall the btrfs-progs package, then the result would be:

The following packages will be REMOVED:
  cryptsetup-initramfs initramfs-tools pureos-minimal pureos-standard linux-image-5.10.0-3-amd64 linux-image-5.9.0-1-amd64 linux-image-amd64

This sound rather scary to me…I don’t dare to do this. Any advice?

Ah take it for what it is I don’t know what I’m talking about really, but my experience was that I had to manually reinstall these packages. I there probably is a configuration issue with how these were setup up.
