I began typing up the following:

Running sudo apt-get --with-new-pkgs upgrade still results in the following:
"The following packages have been kept back:
libpulse-mainloop-glib0 libpulse0 libpulsedsp pulseaudio-module-gconf
pulseaudio-module-x11 pulseaudio-utils
0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 6 not upgraded."
Running sudo apt-get install results in:

When I try completely upgrading pulseaudio in Synaptic Package Manager, I get
the following:
--
Interestingly, I tried removing pulseaudio to upgrade to the
1.8.0-0ubuntu3.11 version by hoping to upgrade it after removing it, but it
seems that the package could not be fetched.
So, I changed to the FSF mirror but noticed that the latest version of
pulseaudio there was 1.8.0-0ubuntu3.10, not 3.11. Switching back to the main
Trisquel server also showed that the latest version is 3.10 and not 3.11
This makes no sense to me -- how could I have been told to upgrade to the
3.11 version if it was supposedly never in the main Trisquel server's repo? I
have never changed my mirror or switched to any backport/unstable repos in
this installation.
Running sudo apt update and sudo apt upgrade now results in no problems. But
my question above still stands.
Thanks for the help.
