gnome-session-fallback upgrade problem on sid



Hello,

I would like to upgrade my sid system and on dist-upgrade get the following error:

"Calculating upgrade... Failed
The following packages have unmet dependencies:
 gnome-session-fallback : Depends: metacity (>= 2.30) but it is not going to be installed
E: Error, pkgProblemResolver::Resolve generated breaks, this may be caused by held packages."

About the packages:

# dpkg --list | egrep -- '(gnome-session-fallback|metacity)'
ii  gnome-session-fallback                3.4.2.1-4                     all          GNOME Session Manager - GNOME fallback session
ii  libmetacity-private0a                 1:2.34.13-1                   amd64        library for the Metacity window manager
ii  metacity                              1:2.34.13-1                   amd64        lightweight GTK+ window manager
ii  metacity-common                       1:2.34.13-1                   all          shared files for the Metacity window manager

So I already have metacity with the required version (>= 2.30) and do not understand why that depends problem exists. Might not the metacity package itself but any of its dependency have problem? How can I find which one? Simple upgrade instead of dist-upgrade is working though but with a lot of kept back packages.

"The following packages have been kept back:
  aptitude aptitude-common cheese cheese-common epiphany-browser epiphany-browser-data gir1.2-totem-1.0 glade gnome-sushi inkscape
  krb5-multidev libgladeui-common libgssapi-krb5-2 libgssrpc4 libk5crypto3 libkadm5clnt-mit8 libkadm5srv-mit8 libkrb5-3
  libkrb5-dev libkrb5support0 libtotem0 llvm-3.2 llvm-3.2-dev llvm-3.2-runtime perl perl-base perl-modules totem totem-common
  totem-mozilla totem-plugins"

Thanks,
a
