Hey... Seams to be fixed now, right?
I just wanted to report that the term "partial upgrade" is confusing and that 
it should be renamed to something like "dist-upgrade" :(
So I post now to that people who decided that rename:

Technically, after 1 year puzzling about the message "Do you want to do
a partial upgrade" I think it means: doing apt-get dist-upgrade instead
of apt-get upgrade (in other terms: a "harder" upgrade). Right?

But when someone like me reads this message , he will think: "Ok, due to
dependency problems, not everything can be installed right now, but when
I agree I will get at least some of them". So for me it is less than a
normal upgrade because I think that no problematic installs will happen.
(I call it a "soft" upgrade)

So I agree to something that in real has much more risk as I think.

But I also see the problem:
- gui applications and console application should use same definitions
- but the words of the console apt-get are confusing for only-gui-users 
(because dist-upgrade sound like release-upgrade but I not)

What do you mean?
