You said to "purge all un-installed apps". I mis-read that. Mind you, it

If you do a "dselect-upgrade" with apt-get, it will use the dpkg available
packages database. Apt normally uses its own available packages database

I was having this problem as well on a potato machine. I never found
out what the problem was, but it somehow fixed itself. I don't think
it had anything directly to do with apt-get or dpkg, but perhaps a
