When Upgrading

[Ze_Mind]

I ran a update and upgrade, and I get this nasty fellow. And I try to fix it, but, umm..

You might want to run 'apt --fix-broken install' to correct these.
Unsatisfied dependencies:

Error: Unmet dependencies. Try 'apt --fix-broken install' with no packages (or specify a solution).

I signed up just to answer this.

This is an upstream issue from Sparky's perspective. The issue is with Debian testing/Trixie, which it appears Sparky or yourself are using. This issue, however, is resolved in Debian Sid so it's already fixed from an upstream perspective and options currently are to wait for Debian to backport the fix from Sid to Trixie or perhaps the Sparky devs can do that sooner.

I found a temporary solution to my problem

+++++++++++
Option 2: If the above doesn't work:

Try renaming the grub script so it is bypassed. It isn't a long term solution but you may be able to run your updates.

sudo mv /etc/kernel/postrm.d/zz-update-grub /etc/kernel/postrm.d/zz-update-grub.bad
++++++++++++

Update done also linux-image-6.9.9-amd64 and linux-image-6.9.12-amd64 are removed.

I turned back the "bad script"

sudo mv /etc/kernel/postrm.d/zz-update-grub.bad /etc/kernel/postrm.d/zz-update-grub

I am trying  now to go further and solve some other problems ( related to the follow lines )

Only solutions which I found it's remove .postinst files from /var/lib/dpkg/info/ for problematic packages. e.g. grub-pc.postinst file
