This can be closed - totally my fault. I had several locked pacakages (forgot about them) and was using a couple PPA's (Padoka's Stable MESA PPA and Kubuntu backports). Was able to resolve it all with Aptitude (just took a few hours) System is fully upgraded now that I fixed the locked packages and unmish-mashed MESA.
