[Installation] Can't upgrade to Sid. Error: pkgProblem Resolver::Resolve generated breaks.
I'm new to Linux and I have basically no knowledge about it, so please be patient.
I've been using Debian on this device for a few weeks, but I still had Windows installed as the primary OS. This Debian installation worked fine, I was able to upgrade from stable to SID without issues. Then, the (very small) partition I had installed it in, ran out of space, so I decided to format the entire disk and install Debian again, on a much larger partition. The installation went smoothly, but when I modify the sources.list to include the SID sources, then, when I enter the dist-upgrade command, it shows an error.

Code:

lechugaelp@lechugaelp-81dc:~$ sudo apt dist-upgradeReading package lists... DoneBuilding dependency tree... DoneReading state information... DoneCalculating upgrade... Error!Some packages could not be installed. This may mean that you haverequested an impossible situation or if you are using the unstabledistribution that some required packages have not yet been createdor been moved out of Incoming.The following information may help to resolve the situation:The following packages have unmet dependencies: network-manager : Breaks: ppp (>= 2.5.0-2~) but 2.5.1-1+1 is to be installedE: Error, pkgProblemResolver::Resolve generated breaks, this may be caused by held packages.
I realized this happens only with the modified version of sources.list, when I run the same command with the default file, it works fine, although there is nothing to upgrade for obvious reasons. Is there any reason why that happens? Am I doing something wrong? How should I even correctly modify the sources.list file?
