Hnn.  So why do I get :-

E: Error, pkgProblemResolver::Resolve generated breaks, this may be caused
by held packages.
E: Unable to correct dependencies, some packages cannot be installed

when I do a dist-upgrade?

Fixed it.  Ran an upgrade via aptitude which installed a few packages but removed 
none.  Now apt-get dist-upgrade thinks everything's up to date.  Must have been some 
dependency glitch.

Below is output from apt-get update and the first part of the output from 
apt-get -s dist-upgrade.
Anyone know if this is a problem with the distribution? Or am I missing
something? I ran an update and dist-upgrade last night without these
showing up.

TIA for your help.
