20.10 problems with full-upgrade on spamassassin and libdvdcss

sc flag

After running sudo apt update and sudo apt full-upgrade I still have the messages quoted at the end.

How to fix this?

As a workaround, I have installed libdvdcss manually as explained here and I may try the same with spamassassin but I would prefer to use Ubuntu packages.

After many trials this was effective to clean:

sudo dpkg --purge spamassassin
sudo dpkg --purge libdvd-pkg

Most people don’t grasp that asking a lot of questions unlocks learning and improves interpersonal bonding. In Alison’s studies, for example, though people could accurately recall how many questions had been asked in their conversations, they didn’t intuit the link between questions and liking. Across four studies, in which participants were engaged in conversations themselves or read transcripts of others’ conversations, people tended not to realize that question asking would influence—or had influenced—the level of amity between the conversationalists.
