DOH!!! Spoke too soon. =-O

Synaptic decided to be weird and not show me stuff. I had just upgraded 
stuff and had not
yet closed Synaptic afterward, something that was upgraded must have 
affected the
running synaptic, which I have not had happen very often, but it's not 
the first time.

After closing and starting it again there are still some things I can't 
upgrade/remove

One KDE4 packages depends on libgpgme++2, if I were to remove the 
dependant package
that would cause other KDE4 stuff to be removed. If I upgrade it, that 
would cause gimp
to be removed.

libilmbase6 and libopenexr6 are then listed as things that have 
pre-transition type names
that would be removed with post-transition names that would be installed.

Opencv is also in the list of things it would cause to be upgraded which 
can't be upgraded
without causing something else to be removed.

For me the list *is* getting small now. :-)
