Yes, you have bullseye and buster. Remove the bullseye one. Why did you add it?

i removed bullseye and was able to run apt upgrade. however, the evolution problem is still there.

I removed and now it complains about glib. is it safe to remove that? it will also remove a bunch of antix stuff.

No it isn’t.
When you added the bullseye repo, you messed up your install with conflicting dependencies.
You could try installing aptitude and then try

I installed aptitude and it cannot solve the problem. is there another way to downgrade libglib?
or should I switch to bullseye?

Backup. Reinstall. It will be quicker. Trust me. Been there. Done that.
There is no quick fix for mixed repos and messed up lib editions. As you are finding out.

How to Search for AntiX solutions to your problemswhat will happen if I wait for liglib to get upgraded on buster? it is just 1.62 (from bullseye) vs 1.58 (from buster).
I use R and emacs and both have very large libraries of packages that will get wiped and I will have to spend two days installing them. I have a separate partition for /home so all my data can survive problems with the os, also antix setup is in my /home, but applications install on the os partition. maybe I should change my setup and install the two I need in /home.

I agree with roki; I would start over. Decide which version to use and be consistent with the repos;
I sometimes experiment but in my case I am deliberately pushing the edges and trying to break things and find the limits; definitely NOT a typical user!
I also have back up options and alternatives in case I do break a system beyond repair! Don’t do it yourself unless you are prepared to rebuild it and replace it!
