conflicts in stretch

I am running sid/stretch and noticed that for some time now, around 200 packages have been "kept back" when doing "apt-get upgrade". Also installing some other packages (e.g. sqlitebrowser) does not work unless I uninstall some 64 other packages. Is this due to some library conflict? Will it be s
