Hi,
I upgraded Beowulf > Chimera a month back or so. It went well. I'm trying to experiment with Pipewire and running into a problem. apt is telling[1] me that I have broken packages. Not sure if this is something I did, or related to the upgrade, or what.

I recall trying Pipewire last year but don't remember if I installed any out-of-band version that may be confusing apt. dpkg shows pipewire:amd64 0.3.19-4 is installed and that is the version apt reports as well so I don't think it's a leftover. I don't have any active 3rd party apt repos for Pipewire.

When I look for[2] held packages with dpkg, It looks like Pipewire is in the "held" state due to it being queued for deinstall? Any thoughts how to fix it?

Thanks
