Problem apt upgrade: unmeet dependencies: Depends: base-files (>= 24.5.1) but 11.1+deb11u10 is to be installed.

I was updating packages on a host running on board "Orange PI PC", running Armbian bullseye version 22.02.1.
There is only one package left:

The following packages have been kept back:
  armbian-bsp-cli-orangepipc

and if I try to run: sudo apt install armbian-bsp-cli-orangepipc I get:

The following packages have unmet dependencies:
 armbian-bsp-cli-orangepipc-current : Depends: base-files (>= 24.5.1) but 11.1+deb11u10 is to be installed
E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages.

If I look at my installation of base-files I see that that's is right.

How I can fix this ?

Check packages on hold and unhold them. Perhaps this helps.

apt-mark showhold does not return any hold packages.

This is unmaintained. bsp packages are going to main repo, which is release independent like kernel ... and here is the problem. Fix is to not update this package. For future:

- use maintained builds

- we can fix this on our side, but don't know when.

Ok.
So I should not try to upgrade this package.
Then, if I wish, to keep the system updated, I could upgrade from bullseye to Debian 12 (Bookworm), probably following the procedure illustrated here ?
The kernel is Linux 6.6.31-current-sunxi, while the specific armbian packages installed are:

armbian-bsp-cli-orangepipc/now 22.02.1 armhf [installed,upgradable to: 24.5.1]
armbian-config/bullseye,bullseye,now 24.5.5 all [installed]
armbian-firmware/bullseye,bullseye,now 24.5.6 all [installed]
armbian-zsh/bullseye,bullseye,now 24.5.5 all [installed]
hostapd/now 3:2.10-6~armbian22.02.3+1 armhf [installed,local]
htop/now 3.1.0-0~armbian20.08.2+1 armhf [installed,local]

 

This procedure could work to keep the system upgraded with armbian distribution ?

 

Thanks!

I believe I have the same issue on lepotato and bookworm

 

 

armbian-bsp-cli-lepotato-current : Depends: base-files (>= 24.8.2) but 24.5.1-12.4+deb12u5-bookworm is to be installed

Little more data is needed, like full logs via armianmonitor.

Ok here it is:
