Bug Description

After an update on mint today, blender was removed because of a dependency issue. Trying to re-install it produces the following dependency error:

The following packages have unmet dependencies:
 blender : Depends: libusd (>= 22.08) but it is not going to be installed
           Depends: libopenimageio2.3 (>= 2.3.19.0+dfsg) but it is not going to be installed
           Depends: libopenshadinglanguage1.11 but it is not going to be installed
E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages.

I've traced down the issue it a little bit and I ended up at:
The following packages have unmet dependencies:
 libopencv-imgcodecs4.2 : Depends: libgdcm3.0 (>= 3.0.14) but 3.0.10-1~20.04.sav0 is to be installed.

$apt-cache policy libopencv-imgcodecs4.2

Thanks for reporting the bug and tracking down the likely culprit. This is related to a collection of rebuilds for 20.04 Focal and older, including of OpenCV, that were pushed to both the Blender and digiKam PPAs yesterday. The rebuilt packages are all with GDAL 3.4.1 as found in the latest LTS (22.04 Jammy).

There were approximately 20 packages involved in the upgrade process and gdcm was intended to be copied to both the Blender and digiKam PPAs, but it was accidentally missed (as you have learned!). So the new required gdcm 3.0.14 version has just now been copied (from ppa:savoury1/graphics) to both the Blender and digiKam PPAs and should be published and available shortly.

This should hopefully fix the issue with installation of the latest Blender version 3.3.1 on your 20.04 Focal system.
