Some of this, *not all*, but some of this I found to be about not having the right repository in my /etc/apt/sources.list.. Other package managers have their own place where you would address the same.. It's that "held back" part that *finally* clued me in at some point. As soon as I do a quick tweak on that /etc/apt/sources.list by adding the additional necessary repository and THEN *apt-get update*, I don't see the message anymore. Because of what I'm doing here, basically learning by (usually accidentally) destroying then fixing, I've had the opportunity to therefore "harmlessly" also try *dpkg -i --force-depends [package-name]. SEEMS LIKE it was one of those "don't try this at home, kids", last resort kinds of deal. It actually fixed something for me in a system I eventually killed off permanently some other way instead...
