    Installing this removes a bunch of packages like dolphin evince g++ g++-8 gcc-8-base:i386 gdm3 gnome gnome-contacts gnome-core gnome-session gnome-shell gnome-shell-extensions gnome-shell-pomodoro gnome-todo Why? Even my desktop kde-plasma Commented Oct 22, 2020 at 10:01

    This answer tends to cause unwanted package removals, as @Amith mentions. There's a deeper issue with the buster -> bullseye upgrade path right now, apparently due to gcc renaming some packages and how apt resolves dependencies when a package provides another. Info here: salsa.debian.org/rpavlik/gcc-10-compat (Apparently because this question is protected, my 100 reputation from having other SO/SE site accounts isn't enough to add a top-level answer...)

    The answer is not the solution to this issue. According to the Debian Buster release notes you should prepare for the operating system minimal system upgrade: sudo apt upgrade --without-new-pkgs and then you can do a full upgrade: sudo apt full-upgrade Commented May 7, 2022 at 20:59
