Reviewing the files from your upgrade attempt, you have installed pipewire packages from the pipewire-debian/pipewire-upstream PPA. Some of the packages installed are newer than those in the official archive, which is keeping some pipewire-related packages installed which then prevents the upgrade from being calculated. Please try using the ppa-purge tool to remove packages installed from ppa:pipewire-debian/pipewire-upstream by running ppa-purge -s ppa.launchpad.net -o pipewire-debian -p pipewire-upstream. After that you can try upgrading again and if it still fails open a new bug report. Thanks and good luck!

Hi,

 I have uninstalled pipewire, but still cannot seem to get the update
going.
 It gives me the warning:
 Warning: Could not find package list for PPA: pipewire-debian
pipewire-upstream

 Any help will be much appreciated.
 Best regards
 Debasish
