Packaging broken for 0.9.26.20git?

[scott8035]

I know enough about apt to know better than to proceed with this install, but not enough to know how to fix it... I get the following output when I try to resolve a "The following packages have been kept back" error via "apt-get install qjackctl qtractor". It seems like it wants to downgrade the system to 32-bit? Not sure.

try apt-get remove qtractor qjackctl etc. and then apt-get install qtractor qjackctl again

the old packages wre being probably linked to qt5 and the newer ones are now on qt6 as they should.

hth.

No dice. Same situation, except now I don't have any Q packages installed :(

Also, qsynth requires libfluidsynth3, but that doesn't seem to be available, unless it's in a repo/ppa somewhere I'm not using.

yes, there are this other repo/ppa named "Libraries (????)" which provides libfluidsynth3 alright (re. fluidsynth >= 2.2; your current distro perhaps still having fluidsynth < 2.2)

what is your distro anymay? (cat /etc/os-release ; uname -a ?)

ps. besides, packaging issues are not quite appropriate to discuss here

I'll setup a VM and try the Libraries PPA out to make sure I'm not going to hose my main install.

you should then use the "Applications (focal)" and "Libraries (focal)" repos, I guess.
