I think you misunderstand Gary - he's not upgrading from 9.1 to Cooker, I don't think, he's running a rolling Cooker and suddenly found it impossible to --auto-select because some package wanted to remove others. I had the exact same problem and found the package causing the trouble was Mesa (which wanted to uninstall XFree86, and consequently most of the rest of the system), so if you have a Mesa package installed, Gary, you might want to uninstall it. If that's not it, try updating each package that wants to be updated one at a time to find the one that's causing the problem, then work around it (just remove that package or add it to skip.list or something).
I have upgraded some packages selectively, but upgrading everything that way takes a lot of time, and leaving out one package can mean a lot of other packages can't be upgraded due to dependencies.
