A list of all packages that apt would remove from my system if I apt full-upgraded right now:
The following packages will be REMOVED:
libnvidia-cfg1 libnvidia-cfg1:i386 libsensors4 libsensors4:i386 nodejs-dev
nvidia-persistenced
Since I have my system backed up, I'm going to do it and see if it breaks my system.
How you can still have some of these packages is beyond me, especially libsensors4, libsensors4:i386
The only libsensors4 left in sid should be libsensors4-dev, everything else is libsensors5
You should full-upgrade once a week at the least

Ah, Well i've full-upgraded and everything is fine.
I've been full-upgrading regularly. Maybe some packages are holding back my system? How would I be able to check?
Maybe
apt-mark showhold
?
apt-mark showhold didn't do anything (didn't print out anything, no errors...)
does that mean I don't have anything holding back my system?
It indicates you don't have anything marked to be held. The slicker version of
dpkg --get-selections | grep -v "install"
If these are showing
The following packages will be REMOVED:
libnvidia-cfg1 libnvidia-cfg1:i386 libsensors4 libsensors4:i386 nodejs-dev
nvidia-persistencedthey weren't on hold
libsensors4 was last updated (before switching to libsensors5) on
Zitat[2017-04-05] Accepted lm-sensors 1:3.4.0-4 (source) into unstable
libsensors4 switched to libsensors5 on Fri, 19 Dec 2018 (over 2 months ago)
ZitatAccepted lm-sensors 1:3.5.0-3 (source) into unstable
Date: Wed, 19 Dec 2018 16:58:53 +0100
Source: lm-sensors
Binary: lm-sensors libsensors-config libsensors5 libsensors4-dev fancontrol
Architecture: source
Version: 1:3.5.0-3
Distribution: unstable
So I really don't know how you have had libsensors4 for so long (over 2 months) if you have been full-upgrading "regularly"
Our sources are directly from debian
OK well I dunno then, I just did an apt full-upgrade a couple days ago before I did it again today
Welcome to the real world of unstable - deal with it, right now is the right time to learn the basics. After the debian stable release the floodgates of hell will be open again - and every not learned basic knowledge will hurt badly. (Other uses will likely say: Yeah, freeze is boring, lets have some action again)
