Summary of the issue you are facing:
When running apt upgrade, Apache packages are kept back:
apache2-bin
apache2-data
apache2-utils
However, apt full-upgrade --dry-run wants to remove the apache2 package
and upgrade the components instead.
Is this expected behavior due to the apache2 package being pinned or handled specially?
Would unholding or reinstalling the apache2 meta package after full-upgrade be the correct approach or will it break my system?
Thanks in advance!
