The proposed solution there looks fine to me, remove some -dev and
misc. packages whose dependencies are being upgraded (and thus, no
longer met). I'm sure one of the subsequent offerings will be to
upgrade most of those packages instead.

Please provide the typescript of apt-get for comparison. You should
also skip through several solutions offered by aptitude so that we can
see what is being considered—the order is some times not what the user
expects.

If you wish to pursue this as an issue file a new report as your
experience is not that covered by this bug.
