> When I execute apt-get update && apt-get upgrade, [...] Let me quote `man apt-get`:
upgrade
upgrade is used to install the newest versions of all packages
currently installed
on the system from the sources enumerated in /etc/apt/sources.list.
Packages
currently installed with new versions available are retrieved and
upgraded; under
no circumstances are currently installed packages removed, or
packages not already
installed retrieved and installed. New versions of currently
installed packages
that cannot be upgraded without changing the install status of
another package
will be left at their current version. An update must be performed
first so that
apt-get knows that new versions of packages are available.
dist-upgrade
dist-upgrade in addition to performing the function of upgrade, also
intelligently
handles changing dependencies with new versions of packages; apt-get
has a "smart"
conflict resolution system, and it will attempt to upgrade the most
important
packages at the expense of less important ones if necessary. The
dist-upgrade
command may therefore remove some packages. The
/etc/apt/sources.list file
contains a list of locations from which to retrieve desired package
files. See
also apt_preferences(5) for a mechanism for overriding the general
settings for
individual packages.
you might want to use aptitude (synaptics probably works too), as it makes
figuring out why it does what much easier, among other things. For a start, it
lists things one item per line by default. If you decide to do so, you probably
want to get started with a tutorial, because it is not completely inuitive to
use.
Also, be aware that wheezy is oldstable, jessie is the current stable.
