I was using X2Go succesfully on my Xubuntu laptop, but after running apt upgrades it is all screwed up and I can neither use it nor purge it, nor use APT for anything else.

#################### You won't be able to upgrade X2Go packages just yet. The new version of X2GoServer depends upon KDrive components that are currently unreleased, so you'll have X2Go Server subpackages that won't be upgradeable. I have to throw out a barrage of other releases to bring this into an consistent state, but that will probably not be finished until the end of this week or next week (just because it's a lot of work and requires a lot of testing and building). ####################
This seems to be kinda annoying, anyway.

Hi Doug,
I'm really curious to find out what got you into that situation. Trying to add the X2Go stable PPA on a stock Ubuntu 20.04 (with X2Go from the Ubuntu Repo already installed) and trying to install/upgrade did throw error messages, but did not leave my system in a broken state.
Things that might be helpful in debugging the issue: The output of
grep -r x2go /etc/apt/sources.list*
(as this will show all x2go-related repositories you are using)
as well as
cat /var/log/apt/history.log
and, if your log rotation has already moved 2023-05-31's entries into the gzipped archive logs,
zcat $(ls -1 -r /var/log/apt/history.log.?.gz)
The "Commandline" entries should show exactly which apt commands you ran that got you into this mess.
Kind Regards, Stefan Baur

Thanks for the responses so far to this issue.
I'll go through the related threads and see what I can do.

In principle, I am available for some virtual hand-holding, just like with Enrico in the other thread, but probably not tonight nor tomorrow. Real-Life duties ... Sunday looks slightly better, Monday should work fine.
