  apt-cache showpkg cacti

says, in part:

  Dependencies: ... mysql-client (4 3.23.3)

So cacti is being removed because mysql-client is being removed and
replaced with mysql-client-4.1, which doesn't satisfy that dependency.
You have at least two options.

- Install cacti from source after it's removed

- Or "apt-get source cacti", edit its debian/control file so that it
  depends on mysql-client-4.1 and libmysqlclient14-dev instead of
  mysql-client >>3.23.3 and libmysqlclient-dev, and hope that
  dpkg-buildpackage doesn't complain when you build it.
