I am trying to upgrade a Stretch installation to Buster. I might then proceed to the other versions. One at a time.
I changed my sources.list file from stretch to buster.
Then I run 'apt-get update' and it works.
When I run 'apt-get upgrade,' it also works.
When I run 'apt-get dist-upgrade,' it breaks. I have a full backup of the Stretch installation so I can revert to it if it fails, and I have tried three times. It always breaks because of gstreamer or libgstreamer:
Those two occurrences are from two different attempts.
On my last attempt, I decided to remove gstreamer and libgstreamer so the upgrade procedure wouldn't try to update it, hoping that apt would not try to install it. But it did. When I removed it, synaptic did not complain that some other package depended on it. It was just happy to remove it.
Anyway, I can't go ahead because of the one package. What can I do about that?
