    Hi,

    I am using Debian SID/unstable with both KDE and GNOME installed. Custom Kernel 2.6.9! For about a
    week now I have been trying to update the packages I got on my system. But each time I do it
    (about daily) it does update some of the packages just fine but can't seem to be able to do
    anything about these:
    The following packages have been kept back:
      capplets capplets-data eog epiphany-browser file-roller gconf-editor
      gedit gedit-common gnome-about gnome-applets gnome-applets-data
      gnome-control-center gnome-games gnome-games-data gnome-gv gnome-media
      gnome-panel gnome-panel-data gnome-session gnome-terminal gnumeric
      gnumeric-common gok libbonoboui2-0 libbonoboui2-common libeel2-2
      libgnome-desktop-2 libgnome2-0 libgnome2-common libgnomeui-0
      libgnomeui-common libgnomevfs2-0 libgnomevfs2-common libnautilus2-2
      libpanel-applet2-0 libreadline4 nautilus nautilus-cd-burner totem
      totem-xine yelp

    I tried "aptitude install" for a few of them, especially capplets, eog, totem, and libgnome2-0,
    but aptitude tells me that 200+ pakages (mainly gnome-related, but not exclusively as pkg-config
    is among them!) are no longer used and will be removed. Anyone else having this problem? Which
    package is responsible for this? Is there anything I can do (I am still a beginner when it comes
    to debian system administration, hehe) to try and get to the root of the problem?

    Thx,
    ib
