Upgrade woes: "These packages have been kept back"
I tried (again) upgrading my 2.1r4 to 2.2r3 today. When I ran
apt-get --fix-broken --show-upgraded dist-upgrade
I was told that "These packages have been kept back", and a list of
about 12 packages, including: login, netstd, passwd, ppp. Most of the
list I didn't really care about too much, but the above seem pretty
important for what I use. I thought the normal reason that packages
were "kept back" was that one or more packages were in a "hold" state
or something similar, yet I don't have anything like that. Does
anyone have any clues as to why I got this result, and what the best
thing to do is, please?
