Python 3.14 Transition

If you try to dist-upgrade and have packages to be removed, it could be because of:

Be careful and keep on siductioning.

As Python is a major part of many packages it may well take time before they all are rebuilt against the new Python release so it's wise to be patient as well.

Nothing to be removed yet but many being held back. Give it a few days to catch up.

For me, the current Python 3.14.6 transition in sid is preventing

• borgbackup
• obs-studio and
• picard

from being upgraded.
apt keeps these packages back because they still depend on python3 (< 3.14).
Example:

$ apt show borgbackup | grep Depends
Depends: python3 (<< 3.14), python3 (>= 3.13~), ...

So this appears to be a temporary issue during the Python 3.14 transition in unstable, and apt is behaving correctly by not removing these packages.

The transition brings some minor problems with it. Solaar is updated, but depends on some python packages which are held back, so it refuses to start.
I as well lost temporarily my keyboard. Even though I'm not sure if the transition is the culprit. I think it was a problem caused by Solaar not able to run. I had to delete my keyboard config files and it worked again after that.
