[nmglug] upgrade packages with apt

Thanks Ted

It seems that the i386 packages are a big problem (or were when they 
were still installed). Ted, do you not have any *i386 packages? I can't 
remember if I mentioned that I tried to install Wine to see what would 
happen and I got the same error re: libtiff5:i386 circular dependencies 
as well as libdeflate0:i386. Had to fumble through pkg mgr. to try and 
fix broken dependencies as well as running: apt --fix-missing install. 
After several efforts I got down to one broken package, libtiff5:i386, 
and  ran apt --fix-missing install and as you saw very many *i386 pkgs 
became "obsolete". Don't know why running the command again made so many 
non-i386 pkgs 'obsolete'.

I can back up 'Home', write all of my saved passwords in Chromium to a 
spread sheet and save those too, to a drive. I'm not going to shutdown 
or restart until I can get everything backed up that's important. I 
might back up /usr too to keep record of what apps are installed.

It's hard to imagine what I may lose by doing a fresh install and adding 
back data I've backed up. I guess there's no less painful way?

Much appreciated
