I'm trying to clear some holds I've had on a number of packages, which currently result in 113 packages being kept back by apt-get. The packages I'd held were: apache, ecpg, libpgtcl, php3, and php3-mysql. The packages being kept back are listed below.
I've cleared the "hold" flags on the five packages listed above using
Jim Pick's trick:
dpkg --get-selections | grep "hold" |
awk '{ print $1 " install" }' | dpkg --set-selections
...but apt-get isn't impressed, it gives the message:
The following packages have been kept back

Mailing list archives suggest I may just have to go into dselect and
resolve dependencies -- this true?
TIA.
