There are a lot of further transitions in the pipe, because every library package, affected by the gcc-5-transition (and a library rename) causes another transition for its reverse dependencies. You are maybe hit by one of these transitions. After debconf I was still not able to do a dist-upgrade without loosing many packages. I then started manually upgrading the system. Found, that at last only a few packages were hold back and most of the packages could be transitioned without lossing half of the system. Took me an hour.

That's what Sid/Unstable is used for. You'll have to live with that :) This transition was IMHO a monster compared to the usual transitions and it might happen again. Se at the end we probably should discuss, what to improve next time. Regards, Daniel
