I have no held packages.
* What outcome did you expect instead?
I expected a solution / upgrade path to be found by apt-get dist-upgrade.
I have done a google search and found many people reporting that doing an "apt-
get remove rdnssd" resolves the issue, but I would think that apt-get should
find this upgrade path automatically?
Do I really have to remove this package in order to have an upgrade path? I
looked at the packages included in Stretch and rdnssd exists in stretch.
