Hello,
`aptitude upgrade` suddenly tells me that a lot of packages have been
kept back. Is there an explanation to why this can happen? I did not ask
to keep them from being upgraded. I am on "testing" for some weeks now
and did already several successful `aptitude update`/`aptitude upgrade`,
I only used the command-line interface.
I saw another thread about a similar problem, but it is quite old:
http://lists.debian.org/debian-user/2004/10/msg00121.html
Thanks for any idea or advice about this.
