Following an update to proton vpn libraries on 27th nov, today the app disappeared from the "Pop!_Shop" app center and dock

I uninstalled using instructions on your website help and tried to reinstall but I am getting this message:

The following packages have unmet dependencies.
 python3-proton-vpn-session : Breaks: python3-proton-vpn-api-core (< 0.20.2) but 0.20.1 is to be installed
E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages.

Same message on updated Debian 11, after using aptitude for solving deps problems no success ... In NetworkManager logs, the ipv6 kill switch failed to auto-activate certainly because i have globaly disabled ipv6. When i finaly disable the kill switch in the app, i have a log with NetworkManager[723]: audit: op="connection-activate" uuid="" name="ProtonVPN #75" pid=23015 uid=1000 result="fail" reason="Could not find source connection." .

I got this issue today on Linux Mint:

The following packages have unmet dependencies:
 python3-proton-vpn-api-core : Breaks: proton-vpn-gtk-app (< 4.1.2) but 4.1.0 is to be installed
E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages

I found a very simple solution from this site https://www.reddit.com/r/ProtonVPN/comments/w9shx1/unable_to_locate_package_protonvpn/ This is the owner of the solution: Parap0nera solution:

sudo apt upgrade

wget -q -O - https://repo.protonvpn.com/debian/public\_key.asc | sudo apt-key add -

sudo add-apt-repository 'deb https://repo.protonvpn.com/debian unstable main'

sudo apt update && sudo apt install protonvpn

Updates have been pushed. We had some internal issues with releases which caused the breaking package to not be updated. We've since fixed that and all packages are on our repos, just refresh the repos.
