Hello
I ran apt-get update followed by an apt-get upgrade. It answers with making
all found upgrades except one, where apt-get writes:
Following packages are kept back:
Why doesn't it do the update? An apt-get dist-upgrade solves the
'problem'.
That's exactly the expected behaviour:
"dist-upgrade" is obviously
different from "upgrade". Why would developers bother creating two
different options.
"upgrade" means "upgrade any single package".
"dist-upgrade" means "upgrade even if the package list of the system has
to change".
So, your upgrade is just depending on an extra package compared to the
current situation.
Hope it helps.
Thanx for your reply.
