Strange because AFAIK my MATE desktop came from the Debian repositories.
This doesn't contract my previous statement at all. The current problem
with MATE in Debian is that the whole upload is work-in-progress and
many packages are yet missing. MATE consists of over 50 separate
packages and it's not possible to upload all packages simultaneously
to Debian since the FTP masters have to manually acknowledge every
new package manually.
As a result, users are dealing with having to mix packages from the
official Debian archives with the packages from the MATE Debian
repositories which can result in conflicts like the one you reported.
Calculating upgrade... Done
The following packages have been kept back:
libmateweather-common libmatewnck-common
0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 2 not upgraded.

This has been the situation for months.
Yes, and the origin of this problem is the same as mentioned above.
I am sorry for the breakage, but we can't avoid it at the moment. It
might have been smarter to upload everything to experimental first,
but we have started with unstable now and have to get this whole
process done.
Please be patient :).
PS: I am considering closing or downgrading the severity of this
bug report as we can't really address it at the moment and
setting it to critical will just prevent the package from
migrating to testing.
Feel free :) Thanks for the quick response.
Frank
