Lo
I've noticed in the nightly update checks that:
Code
The following packages have been kept back:
e2fsprogs libext2fs2So, given that sometimes they need a specific poke, I tried
Code
# apt-get install libext2fs2And this horrifying message was returned....

I noticed e2fsprogs was saying it would be removed, so checked that one:

Some packages could not be installed. This may mean that you have
requested an impossible situation or if you are using the unstable
distribution that some required packages have not yet been created
or been moved out of Incoming.
The following information may help to resolve the situation:
The following packages have unmet dependencies:
e2fsprogs : PreDepends: libblkid1 (>= 2.36) but 2.33.1-0.1 is to be installed
E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages.I did wonder if a dodgy repo was at fault, but from what I can see with apt-cache showpkg on either package, both are coming direct out of the core debian repos (I DO have an HP repo available for my microserver's agentless management service).
A double check:

I have proxmox installed via omx-extras - and uname-r shows

How do I get out of this one? (or is it a waiting game?)
