If I had known what I know now, I probably would have.  I initially
upgraded a test system and played around some with the programs I use the
most, but I didn't test them enough apparently.

I did have shotcut and medit both set up on hold.  When I realized the old
shotcut wasn't going to work anymore, I removed that hold.  OTOH, medit is
still installed and working fine.

If I had it to do over again, I would have held both gimp and audacity --
the latter may be an issue with using it with lxqt, though, as I have not
tried to reproduce the error with gnome yet.
