From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Hi, I've this situation when I apt upgrade. There are many pipewire-related packages kept back. Why? How can I solve it?
Thank you!
EDIT: dist-upgrade summary
EDIT2: Ok I solved it with
apt autoremove # only to remove old packages. it didn't solved the problem
apt update
apt dist-upgrade
PopOS is based on Ubuntu, so the Phased Updates answer above most likely explains what you're seeing.
If you want to force the immediate upgrading of a given package that is being delayed by phased updates, you can
apt installit. (However, note that this will also mark the package as manually installed if it wasn't already, which means that if you later remove everything else that depended on it, it won't join the list of "no longer needed" packages which get removed byapt autoremove).Typically updates that are being phased should be relatively unimportant, but if you want to know what you're missing you can also say
apt changelogandapt policy(supplying a package name as an argument) to find out what has changed.imo phased updates make sense, but ubuntu's current implementation of them is terribly confusing for commandline users who aren't aware of them.
