apt-get dist-upgrade would have worked. This happens when the new
version of a package has a new dependency on something you don't already
have installed. upgrade won't automatically pull in the new package, but
dist-upgrade will.

dselect resolves all of these things (even the Suggests:) when you hit
enter.
