Recebi uma notificação de atualizações disponíveis hoje (20140703) e, como de costume, verifiquei o conteúdo com apt-get -s upgrade (não como raiz como segurança dupla):
NOTE: This is only a simulation!
apt-get needs root privileges for real execution.
Keep also in mind that locking is deactivated,
so don't depend on the relevance to the real current situation!

Hmmm, os únicos pacotes que estão sendo mantidos no meu sistema são os 4 pacotes do grub e o zfs-initramfs, completamente não relacionados aos pacotes restantes sendo mostrados como retidos. Espero que sim, mas a verificação de um segundo host que não exija pacotes específicos de carregador de inicialização relacionado ao ZFS mostra os mesmos pacotes sendo retidos.
Pior, um apt-get -s dist-upgrade mostra vários pacotes importantes que seriam REMOVED (presumíveis para armazenar menos pacotes):
The following packages will be REMOVED:

O que está acontecendo aqui? Os repositórios estão "em fluxo" e pacotes atualizados adicionais correspondentes aos que estão sendo retidos aparecem nas próximas horas?
A forma da sua atualização pode precisar ser alterada: tente
apt-get -s dist-upgrade
A opção 'upgrade' tenta apenas atualizar pacotes instalados, e o dist-upgrade funciona em pacotes instalados e nas dependências desses pacotes. Isto é coberto em debian-administration.org e em AskUbuntu
Eu encontrei este bug esta manhã. Não foi possível corrigir o problema depois de desinstalar o knotes, o rekonq e outros programas. Então eu notei que a mesma atualização maluca foi sugerida em outro sistema Kubuntu 14.04 (com a atualização do KDE 4.13.2). Não instalou desta vez! Acabei de atualizar as fontes, e parece que está corrigido agora (ainda não tentei). Veja uma discussão em link .
Com o número enorme de pacotes nesta atualização, todos os pacotes simplesmente ainda não chegaram a todos os servidores. Dê um pouco de tempo, atualize as listas de pacotes (sudo apt-get update) novamente e veja se ele funciona corretamente assim que todo o conjunto estiver disponível no seu servidor.
