When I do 'apt-get upgrade', I get the following:
The following packages have been kept back:
firefox-esr

Can someone point me at where to look to see why I can't upgrade
iceweasel?

upgrade
[...] Packages currently installed with new versions available are
retrieved and upgraded; UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES ARE CURRENTLY
INSTALLED PACKAGES REMOVED, OR PACKAGES NOT ALREADY INSTALLED
RETRIEVED AND INSTALLED. New versions of currently installed
packages that cannot be upgraded without changing the install
status of another package will be left at their current
version. [...]
dist-upgrade
dist-upgrade in addition to performing the function of upgrade,
also intelligently handles changing dependencies with new versions
of packages; apt-get has a "smart" conflict resolution system, and
it will attempt to upgrade the most important packages at the
expense of less important ones if necessary. The dist-upgrade
command may therefore remove some packages. [...]
[...]
install
[...] All packages required by the package(s) specified for
installation will also be retrieved and installed.[...]
