What are phased updates, and why does Ubuntu use them?
So I ran into that weird "packages being held back" problem while updating my system using `apt`. After some research, it appears to be the result of "phased updates". * What are phased updates, anyway? * Why does Ubuntu use them? * How do they benefit me? * Can I (and should I) turn them off or work around them? * Why are `apt`'s messages regarding phased updates so unclear?
