Hmm....apt-get dist-upgrade gets to the same conclusion: blackbox:~# apt-get dist-upgrade Reading package lists... Done Building dependency tree Reading state information... Done Calculating upgrade... The following packages were automatically installed and are no longer required: libkwineffects1abi5 libkwinglutils1abi2 Use 'apt-get autoremove' to remove them. Done The following packages will be REMOVED: kde-full kde-plasma-desktop kde-plasma-netbook kde-standard kde-window- manager kde-workspace libsmokekdeui4-3 libsmokekfile3 libsmokekhtml3 libsmokekio3 libsmokeknewstuff2-3 libsmokeknewstuff3-3 libsmokekparts3 libsmokektexteditor3 libsmokekutils3 libsmokeplasma3 plasma-scriptengine-ruby plasma-scriptengines ruby-kde4 ruby-plasma The following packages have been kept back: icedove kdeartwork kscreensaver libavcodec53 libkdecorations4abi2 libsmokekdecore4-3 libsmokenepomuk3 libsmokesolid3 The following packages will be upgraded: kde-style-oxygen kde-workspace-bin kde-workspace-data kde-workspace-kgreet- plugins kdm ksysguard ksysguardd libkephal4abi1 libkscreensaver5 libksgrd4 libksignalplotter4 libkwineffects1abi5 libkwinglutils1abi2 libkworkspace4abi2 libplasma-geolocation-interface4 libplasmaclock4abi4 libplasmagenericshell4 libprocesscore4abi1 libprocessui4a libtaskmanager4abi4 libweather-ion6 plasma-dataengines-workspace plasma-desktop plasma-netbook plasma-widgets-workspace 25 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 20 to remove and 8 not upgraded.
