Building dependency tree... Reading state information... Reading extended state information... Initializing package states... No packages will be installed, upgraded, or removed. 0 packages upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 4 not upgraded. Need to get 0 B of archives. After unpacking 0 B will be used. Would download/install/remove packages. (the 4 packages not upgraded are put on hold on purpose, due to bugs) I have LXDE, Xfce4 and significant parts of KDE, LaTeX and lots of other software installed. I never experienced a full-upgrade that wanted to remove significant parts of the system and didn't get sorted out (mostly by itself) in a week or so.
