-X, -X, again I say -X!
with ~x86 revdep-rebuild, this behaviour is default, but most likely
with your revdep-rebuild, you can specify -X to get the latest version
of the packages. Otherwise it will try and use the currently installed
version, which isn't what you want when in the middle of a large
upgrade!
