[Linux-disciples] Telling apt-get not to keep packages back

[Stephen R Laniel]

Often apt-get is only keeping packages back because --
as far as I can tell -- upgrading them would mean installing
extra packages. Ordinarily I don't care whether it installs
extra packages; what concerns me is whether it *removes*
packages.

So is there any way to configure apt-get so that it won't
hold packages back when the only reason to do so is
that other packages need to be installed?
