That was a type, I meant

apt-get upgrade

or

apt-get -f install

You effectively die (only) the first. But that already shows me that
it's an apt issue. When upgrade shows no output (no held back
packages, too), dist-upgrade shouldn't, too. You may want to create
more verbose debug output with

apt-get -o debug::pkgproblemresolver=1 dist-upgrade

and send it to the apt-rpm list.
