The problem is that libarchive13 has a higher version in stable-security
than in testing, and that version is not installable in Stretch:
https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=823984.
If you desperately need a fixed libarchive, there's a patch at the end
of that bug report which you could apply. Otherwise use
"aptitude safe-upgrade" instead of "aptitude full-upgrade".
