Well... I tried both ways, but they did not work -
apt-get replied the same again, keeping back those
packages and then telling nothing will be done;
I suspect these packages might in fact be of unstable
- which would be why apt-get refuses to touch them.
Is there a way to check this? - Because I'm not at all
sure of this.
