apt-get dist-upgrade is persistently holding back one package (j2sdk1.3). Why is this, and what, if anything, should I do?
This happens when the new package has more dependencies that you don't already have installed. Just do "apt-get install <package>" and it'll upgrade the newer version of the package and it's new dependencies. You can confirm that it's not held back anymore by doing another "apt-get dist-upgrade" afterwards and seeing that you don't have any packages held back.
