Why should he?
Package: libutahglx1
Replaces: libgl1
Provides: libgl1
Depends: libc6 (>= 2.1.2), xlib6g (>= 3.3.6-4)
Recommends: utah-glx
Package: utah-glx
Depends: xserver, libc6 (>= 2.1.2)
Recommends: libutahglx1
Conflicts: xfree86-common(>=4.0)
Package: xfree86-common
Suggests: xserver-xfree86 | xserver
apt found a solution for the upgrade, and given the information above
it probably meant deinstalling xserver-svga in favour of
xserver-xfree86. This is probably a bug in utah-glx. But the question
still remains: why should a user put packages on hold before an
upgrade? He's got a working configuration, and AFAICS it's possible to
keep it.
