I've been seeing this quite often recently where nala wants to hold back some packages but if I check apt they will be installed/upgraded. I only noticed it because the last several upgrades had a few hold back each so I just did a comparison to see what apt would do. Has anyone seen this happening. Todays upgrade has a lot of libreoffice bits being held back.
