Auto install- The following packages have been kept back: airtime
  • I'm on Debian 6 . 
    In attempting to upgrade my automated installation of Airtime 1.95 to 2.01 using:
    $ sudo apt-get update

    $ sudo apt-get upgrade
    I get this message:
    The following packages have been kept back:

    airtime

    0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 1 not upgraded.


    Any idea why this might be?

  • Hi,

    This happens when the dependencies of a update to a package are different from the one you already have installed.

    For Airtime 2.0.1 we have some new package dependencies. You can fix this simply by doing sudo apt-get dist-upgrade

  • Thanks, Unfortunately although it has now upgraded, I got all of these errors;
