I'm finally running an unstable system.

I had to compile nearly 500 packages, to report a couple of bugs, and to
install beagle from my custom overlay. In addition, blueman is not
working anymore. The problems were not so many in proportion with the
number of packages compiled.

Thank you all for your advices,
Damian.
