The Breaks/Replaces are correct and there's no need for a transitional packages. When you look at apt log, you have: Investigating (0) xfce4-session [ amd64 ] < 4.8.3-4 -> 4.10.1-1 > ( xfce ) Broken xfce4-session:amd64 Breaks on xfce4-utils [ amd64 ] < 4.8.3-2 > ( xfce ) Considering xfce4-utils:amd64 2 as a solution to xfce4-session:amd64 1 Holding Back xfce4-session:amd64 rather than change xfce4-utils:amd64 Investigating (0) xfce4-appfinder [ amd64 ] < 4.8.0-3 -> 4.10.1-1 > ( xfce ) Broken xfce4-appfinder:amd64 Breaks on xfce4-utils [ amd64 ] < 4.8.3-2 > ( xfce ) Considering xfce4-utils:amd64 2 as a solution to xfce4-appfinder:amd64 1 Holding Back xfce4-appfinder:amd64 rather than change xfce4-utils:amd64 Investigating (0) libxfce4ui-utils [ amd64 ] < none -> 4.10.0-2 > ( xfce ) Broken libxfce4ui-utils:amd64 Breaks on xfce4-utils [ amd64 ] < 4.8.3-2 > ( xfce ) Considering xfce4-utils:amd64 2 as a solution to libxfce4ui-utils:amd64 0 Holding Back libxfce4ui-utils:amd64 rather than change xfce4-utils:amd64 Investigating (0) xfce4 [ amd64 ] < 4.8.0.3 -> 4.10.1 > ( xfce ) Broken xfce4:amd64 Depends on xfce4-session [ amd64 ] < 4.8.3-4 -> 4.10.1-1 > ( xfce ) (>= 4.10.0) Considering xfce4-session:amd64 1 as a solution to xfce4:amd64 0 Holding Back xfce4:amd64 rather than change xfce4-session:amd64 Try to Re-Instate (1) xfce4-session:amd64 Try to Re-Instate (1) xfce4-appfinder:amd64 Try to Re-Instate (1) xfce4:amd64 Done Look at the various scores. xfce4-utils:amd64 = 2 while all the others are at 1, so apt prefers keeping xfce4-utils installed and not update the others. The 2 scores actually comes from the fact xfdesktop4 recommends xfce4-utils. Removing the recommendation seems to fix the issue on my installs, with no need to changes dependencies on xfce4-session, xfce4-appfinder and libxfce4ui-utils, and no need for a transitional packages. -- Yves-Alexis
