It's difficult to tell from the limited information you provided. Please paste here the full output of 'apt -sV full-upgrade'. > In general, if some package x depends on a package y and there's a > upgrade available for y, will both x and y be upgraded when there's an > upgrade available for x? It depends on how strict the dependencies are, but in general APT will try to upgrade everything it can according to your request (`upgrade` or `full-upgrade`).
