I tried (again) upgrading my 2.1r4 to 2.2r3 today. When I ran apt-get --fix-broken --show-upgraded dist-upgrade I was told that "These packages have been kept back", and a list of about 12 packages, including: login, netstd, passwd, ppp. Most of the list I didn't really care about too much, but the above seem pretty important for what I use. I thought the normal reason that packages were "kept back" was that one or more packages were in a "hold" state or something similar, yet I don't have anything like that. Does anyone have any clues as to why I got this result, and what the best thing to do is, please?
