Hello,

Why You want to upgrade from buster to sid? You have enabled both sid
and buster-updates repositories. This won't work, unless you know what
you're doing.
I suggest to install sid from the scratch, if you want to have sid. If
you don't want to have sid, revert back to buster.
Also, sid doesn't have debian-security updates, this entry is invalid.

That's never how I do it. And I have no problem with my method.

I have done it a few times, and it worked more often than not. Consider
your universal statement disproved.

Most of this is correct, except for the part about installing sid
from scratch.  That's not a thing.  If one wants to run unstable, one
installs the current stable release, and then upgrades to sid.

The probem here is that the OP attempted to mix stable and unstable,
cherry-picking packages from unstable.  This WILL NOT WORK.  Ever.

If you want to cherry-pick higher-numbered packages from post-stable
on a stable system, use backports.  Never install a binary package
from a future release.

That's what OP tried and failed already.

Of course , agreed.

That's what I do - running Stable + backports on my server. Rock solid.

That's probably the most common way to get sid and what I would
recommend. However, sid may be installed directly from the archives
using the mini.iso.

Why You want to upgrade from buster to sid? You have enabled both sid
and buster-updates repositories. This won't work, unless you know what
you're doing.

you don't want to have sid, revert back to buster.

What do the following commands give you?

$ apt-cache policy ffmpeg libavcodec58 libavformat58 libavutil56
libswresample3 libc6

$ apt-mark showhold

Also, do you have any package pins in /etc/apt/preferences or
/etc/apt/preferences.d/* ?


That said: dist-upgrade against sid is frequently a bad idea, and I am
not at all surprised that you ran into issues. The usual comment about
running sid is that "if anything breaks, you get to keep the pieces".

The best recommendation as I understand matters is to have sources.list
entries for both testing and sid, use /etc/apt/preferences to pin sid at
a priority which will never be chosen by default, and then install items
from sid selectively as needed.

If this is a production system rather than primarily a test machine, you
might be best served to reinstall, and this time not try to dist-upgrade
against sid en masse.

For myself, I have sources.list entries for stable and testing, and in
the rare case that I need something from sid, modify sources.list long
enough to 'apt-get update ; apt-get install [packagename]', then modify
sources.list to its previous state and run 'apt-get update' again.

You have installed some packages from outside of Debian stable.  Your
choices are:

1) Remove all of the packages that did not come from Debian stable.

2) Reinstall from scratch.

3) Attempt to upgrade to testing.

In the future, do NOT mix releases of Debian, or mix Debian with
other operating systems (e.g. Ubuntu PPAs).

This includes "debian multimedia", which is notoriously bad.  But I
don't see "mmo" in your error list, so maybe you didn't fall into
this particular trap.  Or maybe they changed their version naming.
