Well, I've got a slightly weird one that yours brings to mind. I've wanted to write it up for Debian-User but haven't had the brain power. Short version is that, for no particular reason, I decided to see what "apt-get upgrade" would try to do the other day. I don't normally go that route. Also for no particular reason, I go the "apt-get install" route instead. So... How did your upgrade go? Was anything held back? I'm asking because if I specifically "apt-get install libreoffice" right now, it says, "Sure, let's do it." If I try a generic "apt-get upgrade" instead, all kinds of Libreoffice packages get held back, including libreoffice itself, while unrelated packages are queued up to be successfully upgraded.
