Try:
#apt-get dist-upgrade
upgrade only upgrades packages when it can be done without changing the
install status of other packages (adding or removing them).
dist-upgrade 'intelligently' handles changing dependencies, and will
remove or install other packages as needed to do upgrades. This is all
from the man page...
