sid dist-upgrade only to remove packages
I checked for sid upgrades today, and there were 20 or so, but 30
packages which apt-get wanted to remove.
I upgraded by hand (apt-get install) the packages in groups to see where
the conflict was, but in the end all the upgrades installed just find.
Still when I "apt-get update; apt-get -s -u dist-upgrade", I get (first
output surpressed) that 30 packages want to be removed.

0 packages upgraded, 0 newly installed, 30 to remove and 1 not upgraded.
Any clues? I have tried reinstalling individual packages listed below,
but are all up to date.
I hesitate to remove then reinstall, since this will take out gnome.
Any thoughts appreciated.
Thanks
Tom
