Re: apt-* (dist-)upgrade 3.1.4 to 3.2.2 Woody Debs Very Alarming
I just did a 3.1.3 upgrade to 3.2.3 (sic) and the only thing that failed
was postgresql, but I played a lot. However, the following packages were
kept back.
Building Dependency Tree... Done
The following packages have been kept back

apt-get install libxcursor1 got me to the next step, as it now depends on
different packages, however this still wasn't a new enough version
according to apt-get.
"ksplash: Depends: libxcursor1 (> 1.1.2) but 1.0.2-1woody2 is to be
installed"
This would stop the meek and timid from using apt-get, although it SHOULD
work that easy, but remember this is not standard Debian tree stuff. I
suggest that we get that dependency taken care of before you try it.
Andreas?
However, I notice you using backports, so it might be different, but I see
no libxcursor there so I expect the same results for you.
