Also note that Multi-Arch can also play a role. If you have a package installed of just a single architecture, APT will typically suggest automatic upgrades when possible - but not if the library is installed in multiple architectures. (At least on Jessie.) For example: libA depends on libB (>= 2~bpo) libB:amd64 (= 1) and libB:i386 (= 1) are installed trying to install libA:amd64 will cause APT to complain about unmet dependencies. => first upgrading both libB explicitly to the newer version manually will solve the problem Just to keep that in mind.
