You need to run apt full-upgrade not just apt upgrade
upgrade only applies the updates to the installed packages but can't remove any dependency previously installed. With full-upgrade the system will remove any package that it needs to apply the upgrade

Just checked, and the documentation advises to run full-upgrade

So I'm closing this, as it's not an bug
