Upgrade to Sid from Squeeze not happy...



Hi!

I'm trying to take one of my G4 Macs from Squeeze to Sid, so I can investigate the reported problems with the 2.6.29 kernel in Sid on PowerPC.

I get the following diagnostic from "aptitude update; aptitude safe- upgrade":

The following packages have been kept back:
  gnumeric-common thunar-data xfce4 xfdesktop4-data xfwm4-themes{a}


If I do "aptitude update ; aptitude full-upgrade" instead, I get:

The following packages are BROKEN:
  xfce4 xfwm4-themes
... ... ...
246 packages upgraded, 75 newly installed, 51 to remove and 3 not upgraded.
Need to get 374MB of archives. After unpacking 36.4MB will be freed.
The following packages have unmet dependencies:
  xfce4: Depends: xfwm4 (>= 4.6.0) but 4.4.2-5 is installed.
         Depends: xfconf (>= 4.6.0) which is a virtual package.
Depends: xfce4-settings (>= 4.6.0) which is a virtual package.
         Depends: xfce4-panel (>= 4.6.0) but 4.4.2-6 is installed.
         Depends: xfdesktop4 (>= 4.6.0) but 4.4.2-7 is installed.
         Depends: thunar (>= 1.0.0) but 0.9.0-10 is installed.
         Depends: thunar-volman (>= 0.3.80) but it is not installable
         Depends: xfce4-utils (>= 4.6.0) but 4.4.2-8 is installed.
         Depends: xfce4-session (>= 4.6.0) but 4.4.2-6 is installed.
  xfwm4-themes: Depends: xfwm4 (>= 4.6.0) but 4.4.2-5 is installed.
The following actions will resolve these dependencies:

Keep the following packages at their current version:
xfce4 [4.4.2.1 (now)]
xfwm4-themes [4.4.2-1 (now)]

Score is 130

Accept this solution? [Y/n/q/?]

First of all, why does "full-upgrade" say "and 3 not upgraded" when there seem to be only two un-upgradable packages?

Second, the "4.6.0" versions of all those packages are available on my i386 Sid box. Why haven't they made it to PowerPC yet?

Thanks!

Rick

PS: Can somebody suggest an appropriate "package" to which I can submit a bug report on this?
