apt-get dist-upgrade tries to remove the following packages:
There's tons of noise in there that actually should be removed, like most
of the libraries (which have newer, conflicting versions), but also some
stuff that really shouldn't be removed.
What does apt-get upgrade do for you right now? Does it make any forward
progress? You tried three commands, but none of them were that one,
which is my go-to as the first step.
Ok, I'll try 'apt-get upgrade --with-new-pkgs' first... It obviously says
it will upgrade a number of packages, but also leave a number of packages
unchanged.
Actually now I only wanted to install 'sni-qt' package... and I wanted to
wait for the full upgrade until everything is fixed. But apt-get install
sni-qt also fails and that's why I'm writing here :)
My sources.list contains sid, experimental and jessie-updates (+ oibaf
graphics-drivers ppa)
Do you have experimental there for a specific reason? If not, I'd try
taking it out. If the resolver is getting confused and deciding to try
to install experimental packages, that could send it down blind alleys,
since perl in experimental is not installable at the moment (IIRC).
No, the resolver doesn't try to use packages from experimental unless I
request it with '-t experimental'. So taking it out doesn't change
anything :)
Maybe adding jessie into sources.list will help to calm resolver...
I'm somewhat worried that your problems are actually caused by the oibaf
graphics-drivers PPA, although I'm not sure. Most of the removals look
like removing all of KDE, which makes me think something isn't working
right with the Qt upgrades. I'm not using KDE, so that might explain why
I'm not seeing the same thing.
Maybe partially... but it's not the single cause. I suspect the root of
some problems in libboost...
Thanks, this bit of output is the part that's actually useful.
Unfortunately, none of these indicates an actual root problem, just "is
not going to be installed". One thing that can be helpful is to chase
these dependencies down with apt-get install so that you can get more
specific errors. For example, try:
% apt-get install libreoffice-base
and see *why* it's not going to be installed. It's probably going to
list
several other packages that it depends on that won't be installed, and
you
will hopefully either get an actual error, like a conflict, or a
tractable
problem that the resolver can figure out by removing some libraries and
installing some new ones.
I've also tried it, it ends up with:
vitali@gnusmas:~$ sudo LANG=C LC_ALL=C apt-get install libreoffice-base
libreoffice-base-drivers libreoffice-base-core libreoffice-core

Do you have any held packages? The resolver might be arriving at really
bad solutions because it's trying to work around your holds.
No, nothing is in 'dpkg --get-selections | grep hold'
