Not necessarily. "upgrade" will e.g. not upgrade a package if that breaks a previously satisfied recommends or a new recommends can not be installed – but it does install the new version if you force it as you do in the second command. Might also be a case of "A and B can not be done together, so I am not doing either due to implementation reasons". galera-3 does not seem to have recommends, but it wasn't updated for 6 months either and you haven't told us the versions involved, so perhaps that's from a different repository… Adding: -o Debug::pkgDepCache::AutoInstall=1 -o Debug::pkgDepCache::Marker=1 -o Debug::pkgProblemResolver=1 Would probably shine some light on what happens why. You could also attach your /var/lib/dpkg/status file to the bugreport. The README has details on both which you might want to consult. Best regards David Kalnischkies
