    Hi,
    I haven't used much dselect not aptitude, but AFAIK apt-get utpgrade
    is not the same as apt-get dist-upgrade, also, sometimes packages are
    put into hold, and you need to apt-get install them specifically to
    get the newest version. You can see all this form apt-get, I don't
    know how dselect handles this issues, but I thing they are to be
    considered.
    I hope it helps you a bit
