    Thanks for the tip, Thomas, but did you mean this problem has already
    been reported, or that I should submit a bug report?

    If you mean this has already been reported, I can't find the bug to
    which you're referring.

    If you mean I should submit a bug, I'm not convinced my problem isn't
    my misuse of aptitude.

    I guess what I'd like to know is how to get more information about why
    aptitude is concluding that these couple packages should be "kept
    back", to better understand whether the fault is aptitude's or mine.
    Unfortunately I haven't managed to gather this, using only aptitude's
    ample documentation.

    Could you please clarify what you meant, Thomas?

    Thanks again!

    Jack
