  Abort.

  libelogind0/now 246.10-3 amd64 [installed,upgradable to: 246.10-5]

I have this in my /etc/apt/apt.conf:

APT::Install-Recommends "false";
APT::Install-Suggests "false";
APT::AutoRemove::RecommendsImportant "false";
APT::AutoRemove::SuggestsImportant "false";

and do not have a desktop installed in case that matters.
Instead I rely on startx to start i3 for me when I need a GUI.

What did resolve things for me was
