I recommend to help aptitude by setting the attribute markauto to that
installed packages which are dependencies of main packages. E.g., the
packages of g77-3.3, gcc-3.3, cpp-3.3, since they are dependencies of
the packages g77 and gcc, I think.
Also remove the package r-mathlib. After the update you could install
r-recommended.
And also try to remove any un-needed packages and older obsolete
packages (they are shown in the aptitude gui).
Hope that helps.
