Been waiting for an hour for my te​st​ to start​

So I just finished The Name of the Wind, and although I really liked it for the most part, the sloppy female characters that were consistently objectified really ruined it for me. In the beginning I was really stoked about it, and I was excited to continue reading, and now I am not sure if I even really want to read the next book.

I feel like this line from chapter sixty nine basically sums up my point

"There is a sort of comradery that rarely exists except between men who have fought the same enemies and known the same women."

This seems to be implying, in one fell swoop, that 1. men can't form close friendships under normal conditions, and 2. that women are comparable to enemies, something to be conquered and taken. Earlier on the same page Deoch says that women don't get along with Denna because she is attractive which is an extremely sexist trope.

Between all of that and the constant objectification ("her shapely legs", "her attractive neck", "full breasted", etc.) I really get the sense that Patrick Rothfuss is just a misogynistic asshole. It doesn't seem to be contributing anything substantial to the greater story, and so I think that he put it in because he thinks that that is how all men and boys think and act.

So last night I tried to update my system from Debian 11 to Debian 13. I followed a guide that said it was for updating from 12 to 13, but I figured "It'll probably work". Half way through the update I got a bunch of dependency errors while running apt full-upgrade. After that I started getting errors about missing object files. I rebooted, but Gnome fails to start with a bunch of errors. I can get to a TTY console, but whenever I try to use apt I get

E: Unmet dependencies. Try 'apt --fix-broken install' with no packages (or s
pecify a solution).

apt --fix-broken install just yields more errors and a whole host (probably 100 or more) broken packages and I get

E: Error, pkgProblemResolver::Resolve generated breaks, this may be caused b
y held packages.
E: Unable to correct dependencies

I tried purging broken packages as someone suggested using dpkg -l | grep ^iU | awk '{print $2}' | xargs sudo dpkg --purge

but that did nothing. I also tried to restore my backed up /etc directory, and used dpkg --set-selections to reset my packages, but that did not work and I still cannot install anything or boot the system normally. Even running apt update results in Failed to load module: /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/gio/modules/libgiognutls.so
/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/gvfs/libgvfscommon.so: undefined symbol: g_task_se
t_static_name and other similar errors.

The only option that I can think of is to back up my files and clean install, but I am hoping that someone has a better solution for me.
Please let me know if there is more info needed. I didn't want to post the whole log for fear that it would just become a wall of text, but I will do that if needed.

This is the guide that I followed:

Hello, I am looking to learn the clarinet. I am strapped for cash right now though, and I thought that if someone happened to have one in a closet collecting dust then I could take it off their hands.

I love the sound of jazz clarinet, and some day I also want to learn the saxophone, so learning the clarinet would be a good step in that direction.

Thank you in advance!
