I upgraded to Debian 10, but 750 or so packages were held back. I read that i

Tried apt-get install <list of packages held back>, but they are still held 
back. How do I upgrade them?Thanks!Luben

The following packages have been kept back:
   blueman bogofilter bogofilter-bdb bogofilter-common cinnamon cinnamon-common 
cinnamon-control-center cinnamon-control-center-data cinnamon-desktop-data 
cinnamon-l10n cinnamon-screensaver cinnamon-session

gir1.2-xapp-1.0 gjs gnome gnome-calendar gnome-characters

When I see "The following packages have been kept back", I usually type:

    # apt-get dist-upgrade


That said, I no longer do major version upgrades. I backup, pull the system disk, install a wiped disk, do a fresh install, and reconfigure/ migrate/ restore.
