apt-get upgrade won't do anything that would require removing a package without replacing it with another (of the same name?). Try going apt-get -s install <some package being held back> to see what apt-get thinks is required to upgrade it. If you're happy with what it wants to do, run it again without '-s'. apt-get dist-upgrade will go further than apt-get upgrade in this, but from memory it will still not do anything that requires removing a package.
