Did you 'apt-get upgrade'?  Or did you 'apt-get dist-upgrade'?  That
is a very important distinction.  If you only did an 'upgrade' then

Seems like an 'upgrade' versus 'dist-upgrade' issue to me.

You might want to install apt-show-versions and looking at the output

  sudo apt-get install apt-show-versions

  apt-show-versions | pager

It should have interesting information.
