I currently get this error message “freedombox set on hold.” together with “Config is in use.” whenever I
a) uninstall apps (Zoph and Searx)
b) try to repair e.g. Wordpress or Nextcloud
A simple restart of the Box did not change the behaviour
How can I solve this issue?
Edit: Here are some more info after a manual update:

In aptitude, Zoph is marked as “half-installed”. Can I simply purge it?
SOLVED:
Root cause was indeed a failure of uninstalling Zoph:
Removing zoph (1.0.1-3) …
dpkg: error processing package zoph (–remove):
installed zoph package post-removal script subprocess returned error exit status 30
In aptitude, Zoph was marked “H” as partly installed. There were also many other packages on hold, but I think this was not related.
Repairing or uninstalling from within Plinth resulted in the error above.
So first, I installed Zoph again from within Cockpit/aptitude. Zoph remained in status “H”. Next, I uninstalled (did not purge) Zoph via aptitude and this went through without error. Also FBx 25.5 was installed. I did the same with Searx, which never really worked for me.
This way the packages were “repaired”.
Next, I uninstalled Searx and Zoph via Plinth to tidy up.
I think, my FBx is now back again in a healthy state.
