Some serious bugs when upgrading from Debian Buster (10) to Debian Bullseye (11)

[Omer Zak]

I have at last upgraded my desktop Debian Linux installation from
Debian Buster to Debian Bullseye.

However, I found that some packages have frightening bugs reported
against them, which do not seem to have been fixed for long time.

Does anyone know if I really need to be afraid of those bugs?


The packages in question are:

grub-pc - #1019564: (during upgrade) grub-install: warning: Attempting
to install GRUB to a disk with multiple partition labels.  This is not
supported yet

fwupd-amd64-signed - #973715: fwupd-amd64-signed: Uninstallable; not
binNMU-friendly


Those packages (and some other packages) are currently pinned at a
Buster version and whenever I start aptitude to install security
upgrades, I have to manually cancel removals of the above packages and
some packages upon which they depend.

Thanks,
--- Omer Zak
