Try installation without checking dependencies? (y/N)
what now 

 

I'm not sure what you're upgrading from.  I did it from base 9.1, and 
I'd say that it involved at least 300 packages.  And, like I said, you 
get some scary prompts.  I don't recall the components you list being in 
them, but the feeling I got from the list was that the packages were OK, 
it was just the dependencies that were incorrect.  So I just answered 
YES to everything.
