i don't know if issue is unique to my machine /my configuration is bordering on being frankendebian/ or more wide as usual i tried to update my machine, and on `sudo apt full-upgrade` saw this: ``` Upgrading: libegl-mesa0:i386 libegl-mesa0 libgbm-dev libgbm1:i386 libgbm1 libgl1-mesa-dri:i386 libgl1-mesa-dri libglx-mesa0:i386 libglx-mesa0 mesa-libgallium:i386 mesa-libgallium REMOVING: mesa-va-drivers:i386 mesa-va-drivers mesa-vdpau-drivers:i386 mesa-vdpau-drivers Summary: Upgrading: 11, Installing: 0, Removing: 4, Not Upgrading: 0 Download size: 21.9 MB Space needed: 4,789 kB / 42.0 GB available Continue? [Y/n] n Abort. ``` as i understand, lib packages in stable-backports has been updated to 26.* version, while mesa drivers are still 25.* - and since full-upgrade ignores automatic/manual flags on these packages and may even remove some packages - it suggest removing drivers, while upgrading library files ``` mesa-libgallium/stable-backports 26.1.2-1~bpo13+1 amd64 [upgradable from: 25.2.6-1~bpo13+1] mesa-libgallium/now 25.2.6-1~bpo13+1 amd64 [installed,upgradable to: 26.1.2-1~bpo13+1] mesa-libgallium/stable 25.0.7-2+deb13u1 amd64 mesa-va-drivers/stable-backports,now 25.2.6-1~bpo13+1 amd64 [installed] mesa-va-drivers/stable 25.0.7-2+deb13u1 amd64 mesa-vdpau-drivers/stable-backports,now 25.2.6-1~bpo13+1 amd64 [installed] mesa-vdpau-drivers/stable 25.0.7-2+deb13u1 amd64 ``` did i bork my system with apt tweaking/pinning or is it issue with debian trixie-backports repository?
