You might give "aptitude upgrade" a shot instead of apt-get..
I find<br>
it doesn't "keep back" packages like apt-get does a lot of
times.<br>

<div>Apt-get will keep back packages usually when it has to add
new packages, or dependency issues aren't met. Do an apt-get -s
dist-upgrade. dist-upgrade will tell it to install those
packages resolving dependency issues. -s is simulation, so it
only shows you what it would do.</div>

well, I ran "sudo aptitude upgrade" and got the following:<br>
<br>
hdevine@hdevine-desktop:/etc$ sudo aptitude upgrade<br>
W: The "upgrade" command is deprecated; use "safe-upgrade" instead.<br>

The following packages have been kept back:<br>

libmyth-0.22-0{u}<br>
xulrunner-1.9.1{u} xulrunner-1.9.1-gnome-support{u}<br>
0 packages upgraded, 0 newly installed, 6 to remove and 10 not
upgraded.<br>
Need to get 0B of archives. After unpacking 61.7MB will be freed.<br>
Do you want to continue? [Y/n/?]<br>
<br>
<br>
As you can see, it wants to remove some things, but still says that
the myth packages will not be upgraded. When I tried "sudo apt-get
-s dist-upgrade", I got the same result as earlier: no packages
added or removed, and the myth packages set to not be upgraded.<br>
<br>
Any ideas?<br>
