Re: gnome-terminal -> kept back

Well, I've always used the testing version (in the past woody, now
sarge). But a normal upgrade wasn't always sufficient (I don't know
why).

Anyway, even apt-get upgrade -s says:

The following packages have been kept back
gnome-terminal 0 packages upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 1 not upgraded. 


#2) 'apt-get install gnome-terminal' (to attempt an upgrade of
gnome-terminal) may tell you more information about precisely what
happened.


I get:

Sorry, but the following packages have unmet dependencies:
  gnome-terminal:

E: Sorry, broken packages
I just went through this my self and got the same stuff. The "problem" is that the new gnome-terminal depends on some packages that are still in "unstable". You have two choices:
1. Wait until all the dependencies make it into "testing" (probably in a few days) 
2.  Pull the dependencies out of "unstable" right now.
Which choice depends upon your personal desires. I chose to pull the dependencies out of "unstable" (#2) one-at-a- time from this list until the new gnome-terminal package installed OK. Everything seems to be OK here, although I have NOT done any extensive testing of all the new stuff installed. 

Cheers,
