I would not bot able to answer it, maybe the scanner driver. I do use
skype and docker. Anyway, here the output:

downloadhelper is part of a firefox extension.
"locale" is one of the packages that is currently broken (update:
could reinstall and it is working now)

When I did the upgrade (the big one after 4 months) apt-listbugs
warned about a number of bugs and I felt safer to pin those packages.

Thank you, this was not obvious to me. I now deleted the pins from
/etc/apt/preferences.d/apt-listbugs and rerun update+upgrade and that
seems to have fixed my problems.

You refer to my apt policy I assume and/or my apt sources list? I
would be happy to simplify it. In my sources.list I now only have
unstable:

deb http://deb.debian.org/debian/ unstable main non-free contrib
deb-src http://deb.debian.org/debian/ unstable main non-free contrib

For my apt preferences I had:

Package: *
Pin: release a=testing
Pin-Priority: 650

Package: *
Pin: release a=unstable
Pin-Priority: 600

To be honest back in the day when I did that, I struggled to really
understand it. My intention was to have the system take packages from
unstable and if a package is not available there then from testing.
Does it even do that?
Thank you a lot for your help!

Marty
