System update not possible (Tinker Board 2/2S Debian 10 V2.0.14)

[mrorange 0]

Hello

I have installed the Image Tinker Board 2/2S Debian 10 V2.0.14 to my Tinker Board 2S. After installation, I tried to update the System. I've used the commands `apt update && apt upgrade && apt dist-upgrade`.

Unfortunately, I have held back packages. Is there a way to fix them?

hello @mrorange,

these packages are marked held by rockchip -- some packages have been modified and have to be kept in certain versions for compatibility reasons. it's not suggested to do dist-upgrade from debian repository as some functions might not work as they should be after the upgrade. 

however, if you must upgrade these packages, you can do it through aptitude

apt-get install aptitude
sudo aptitude

once the caches and configs are loaded, you will see a little console, look for '---Upgradable Packages' and press g to preview; press g again to upgrade all the packages. (you will have to press return to continue during the process)

once the upgrade is finished, press q to leave aptitude (as mentioned in other posts, the ldconfigs can be ignored)
