Breeze 6 theme etc has been on hold for weeks, APT says it wants to remove Breeze 5. Any ideas why it is being held by apt or maybe it is just something related to my system
Mh, why don't you let it go? (breeze 5)
$ LANG=C apt policy breeze
breeze:
Installed: 4:6.6.5-2

Looks like, that it is related to your system.
Did you always use 'apt full-upgrade' to upate your system?
I have now installed Breeze 6 but I was asking why it was being held by apt as nobody else had reported a problem. I full upgrade most days
For that, I do use the interactive mode of "aptitude", which shows me a lot of information, amongst which is also the one, why software is not updated.
But since a little while, you can also use the "why-not" option of "apt" to learn, why something is not upgraded.
[Or the "why" option to learn, why it is/will be.]
