Its a problem with some of the packages changing boundaries I think.  What was 
the reason given for holding back the packages.

I _think_ this is caused by the non removal of some of the packages which are 
no longer in the release.  

I did it with a combination of aptitude and dpkg -r.  I used aptitude to try 
and understand what the problem was, and dpkg -r to fix it (sometimes with 
- --force-depends)
