latest article published by pavroo in Sparky News 2024/04 where he recommends
uninstalling NALA due to malfunction:
Quote[....] Due to nala doesn't full-upgrade packages properly and doesn't handle with broken packages on Sparky rolling (8) I recommend to uninstall nala. The sparky-upgrade tool on Sparky 8 uses apt back now to upgrade packages.
Use instead, the classic
sudo apt update && sudo apt dist-upgradeAnd this way, you probably won't have any problems updating the system.

Thanks.
I keyed Control-C in the background window for the non-working upgrade, wasn't sure whether things had ended (the window remained open), I closed that window then restarted the system, ran the apt commands, restarted the system again.
There remained, near bottom right, a dialogue with two buttons (Cancel and OK, IIRC) but no content. I guessed, this was a ghost of a prompt to upgrade that preceded the second restart, so I opted to cancel.
I checked for an upgrade, began the upgrade, during the upgrade there appeared a prompt to upgrade.
I ignored the prompt to upgrade, completed the upgrade, restarted the system.
