I tried both ways, but they did not work - apt-get replied the same again, keeping back those packages and then telling nothing will be done; I suspect these packages might in fact be of unstable - which would be why apt-get refuses to touch them.

packages being kept back during upgrade
Hello everybody, I've upgraded my (stable) debian machine some days ago - and again to be sure - but it looks like some packages are allways 'kept back'. This is the exact output I just got: -- Reading Package Lists... Done Building Dependency Tree...

Thanks for any input, Joris Huizer I assume you did an apt-get update apt-get upgrade to get this result. If so, it probably means that the packages that were kept back conflict with some other package on your system that would need to be removed to upgrade these. To see which one, do apt-get -s dist-upgrade the dist-upgrade will remove the necessary packages to satisfy the conflicts. the -s option makes apt-get pretend to do this, so you can see what package(s) will be removed. If you are ok without the packages it wants to remove, go ahead and do apt-get dist-upgrade. Josh Metzler -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble?
