Titel: What packages do you have held back during d-u?

Quote from another thread regarding held back packages :

Zitat:

The following packages have been kept back:
dpkg-dev idle python python-minimal rdiff-backup streamtuner
0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 6 not upgraded.

I d-u most days; my list of held packages is growing :

checkinstall
gkrellm
hal-device-manager
libggi2
pdftk

Do others have these packages held back? Should I force their installation or just leave things as they are?

How come the list of packages to be held back keeps changing? How come it does not always coincide with what "dpkg --get-selections | grep hold" tells me?

I often do a "apt-get install packagename" for packages that are held back for more information as to why they are held back. Sometimes it is because of a conflict or dependency that cannot be resolved. But often they just need to remove and/or install a new package. And I can then decide whether I want to do so.

All were dependency issues which I've resolved by uninstalling / reinstalling.
