Thanks @fehlix .

I think I will actually listen to your advice and start again.
(Im building distro out of MX23.2 Minimal, and Im already at Alpha v7, so starting over again from healthy Alpha v6 is not that big of a deal. I'd loose only a month or so of work, but at least i learned very very important lesson about Debian...)

Thank you for your time and patience!
This system will remain bricked :bricksfall:
and I will start over, more carefully.

Why not start with MX23.4 Minimal instead, at least avoids any side effects of those huge upgrades since MX23.2.

Well I already have tons of stuff done up to v6, and porting that would take some considerable time, while v6 is also perfectly healthy and fine with all it has at the moment.
Edit: I actually pretty much already ported entire v7 onto healthy previous version, so it was month to create, and only 3 or so hours to redo it as I already had everything layed down on bricked os.
And Im pretty sure i caused the issue last time by trying to install neovim with apt.

As mentioned, in case a package or a package with a newer version
is not available within current enabled debian / or MX repos and also not within MX-testrepo,
do formulate a Package Request within the PackageRequest forum, with some reasoning, why you think
it's worth to have the package (or the newer version) within the MX repo.
With this package request, there is a chance that someone from the packaging team will be kind enough to backport the package.
