The following packages have been kept back: click click-dev gir1.2-click-0.4 libclick-0.4-0 0
BUT
It's clear that all of these packages are either on hold somewhere, or are in some kind of conflict, or would cause conflict. I don't understand why or where. They are neither Locked in Synaptic, nor Held back by apt
or aptitude
.
I am curious as to why these packages are held back? I cannot get past this with apt-get dist-upgrade
, or with apt-get --with-new-pkgs upgrade
.
I am on Linux Mint 17.3.
