  If I understand correctly: you mean that aptitude doesn't even
attempt to upgrade them?

  Could you post the complete output of "aptitude upgrade"?  Also,
could you post the output of "dpkg -s PACKAGE", "aptitude show PACKAGE",
and "apt-cache policy PACKAGE" for one of the packages that should be
upgraded?

    Thanks,
