apt-get dist-upgrade tries to remove the following packages:
and upgrade rather than dist-upgrade?
Try using aptitude instead of apt. It sometimes does a better job, and
just 'aptitude' so you get the curses interface makes it _much_ easier
to track down what's actually up. 'B' shows broken packages which is
often a clue.
I've tried and it offered me 100500 different insane ways of solving the
situation... :) that's why I don't use it, its solver seems really insane.
apt-get is far more rational :)
The single thing that I found aptitude useful for is finding and removing
packages that are unavailable in current debian release anymore :)
