Upgrading from Centaurus/Buster to Gemini/Bullseye.

Hi everyone! Hope you're all having a nice life!

I tried upgrading my Q4OS-TDE VM from Centaurus/Buster to Gemini/Bullseye, and I partially succeeded: The upgrade was interrupted half the way due to an error regarding q4os-desktop and q4os-debfxs pkgs, which can not be removed/upgraded. I tried to remove them manually in the hope that I could reinstall them later from a TTY, but typing 'Yes, do as I say!' doesn't work and the process aborts. In TDM after typing my password I get this:

And it gets stuck in a loop; dropping me back to TDM login screen.  A few other screenshots:

I used

sudo apt -o APT::Force-LoopBreak=yes full-upgrade

How can I start dcopserver? I installed XFCE and have a desktop, but would like to keep on using TDE, since I only have this VM, so I can try and help those using Q4OS TDE, I use Plasma. Any help/advice is much appreciated.

Re: Upgrading from Centaurus/Buster to Gemini/Bullseye.

I solved it by running

sudo dpkg --force-all -i  /var/cache/apt/archives/q4os-desktop_4.7.1-n1_all.deb

Now everything works as expected.
