If in doubt, install apt-listbugs first. That will warn you if there are
any important bugs affecting the to-be-installed versions. Read the bug
reports and see if they apply in your situation and then either install
the packages or use apt-listbugs to apply a pin which will skip the
installation of the buggy package (when a fixed package arrives, you'll
get the opportunity to upgrade as normal).
Stumbled back on this while trying to find threads referencing
policykit. Feels appropriate to highlight with it seeming there's a
lot of mention of bugs lately. Had never heard of apt-listbugs.
Installed after reading the above suggestion. A basic example of its
output:
elf@northpole:~$ apt-listbugs list apt
Retrieving bug reports... Done
Parsing Found/Fixed information... Done
serious bugs of apt (- ) marked as done in some version
#558784 - apt: re-adds removed keys (Fixed: 0.9.10)
#701048 - many squeeze-wheezy upgrades fail with Could not perform
immediate configuration (Fixed: apt/0.9.9)
Merged with: 645713
Summary:
apt(2 bugs)
I've also had it interrupt installs by pointing out a bug or bugs then
asking if the user wants to continue installing or abort to do further
research first. I can't help wondering out loud if broader use of any
tool of this type that is specific to a user's CHOICE of package
managers might somehow draw in faster bug fixes purely due to more
exposure..

Why?
After that aptitude has been saying recommends (or is it suggests) some
polkit stuff.
Now dist-upgrade is bringing back these (and some others):
libpolkit-agent-1-0{a} libpolkit-backend-1-0{a} libupower-glib3{a}
policykit-1{a}

Note: For the most part system is working with systemd.
Still I dont want to lose the option of choosing sysv-init at grub
(just in case)

policykit + systemd
When upgrading (hoo-boy!) to systemd a few weeks ago I had to remove policykit
packages.
After that aptitude has been saying recommends (or is it suggests) some
polkit stuff.
Now dist-upgrade is bringing back these (and some others):
libpolkit-agent-1-0{a} libpolkit-backend-1-0{a} libupower-glib3{a}
policykit-1{a}
Is that ok?
Note: For the most part system is working with systemd.
