Peter, I had this same thing happen to me, so I dug into it a bit and this is what I found. Lynx-ssl depends on the slang1 library being below versin 1.3.1 I believe, and since dist-upgrade trys to intelligently handle dependancies, etc, since you installed a version of slang1 that was higher than the version lynx-ssl needed to run, it marked the package for un-installation. I believe if you check the other packages that were removed they would have a similar dependancy on slang1 or some other program that was upgraded that the packages listed for removal depended on being a lower version number.
In my case, since I use lynx-ssl quite a bit I had to downgrade slang1 to the previous version.
