Just to add to the above: If a package fails to upgrade, use "aptitude show <package>" to find out if the package was automatically installed. If it was then use "aptitude why <package>" to find out what manually installed package requires it, then reinstall that manually installed package, it will automatically install all the dependencies it needs.
