bind9-host is only the host command from bind9. Not the entire bind9. The reason why packages are held back is because they depend on a new package. Doing an apt-get upgrade won't give you any new packages. Instead you can try an apt-get dist-upgrade Well, even with dist-upgrade you can get held back packages. That's in situations when the necessary new packages yet has to be moved into the repository. -- Andreas Olsson http://www.andreasolsson.se/
