cant dist-upgrade, broken repository ??

[Fred Schaer]

Mmmh... "my bug" disappeared - repository was most probably updated...

Concerning the kept back thing, it looks like the packages that can't be 
updated depend on other unavailable packages (try to install the 
dependencies of the new packages in apt to find which one ?) , or that 
you're just updating and not using 'dist-upgrade' (the simple apt update 
can't install/remove new packages)

Cheers
