Except for 'gir1.2-gtk-3.0, libgtk-3-0. libgtk-3-bin. libgtk-3-common' 
that one testing system is clean and upgraded and synaptic is still 
okay.  It looks like "gtk-3" is the culprit.  When the other 4 systems 
start behaving okay that 5th system's gtk-3 will be upgraded too.  Those 
4 are the only gtk-3 packages I have on my system and I pinned them, 
like I said everything else is upgraded.
