Is waiting for a few days really such a big blocker???
Sometimes I use the following hack:
First I download only:
apt-get update; apt-get dist-upgrade -dy
If DU seems not appropriate, because something would get removed, I type
apt-get install -s
and copy only 1 line of the "apt-get -dy" output and append it to "apt-get install -s".
If output seems OK, I repeat this command, but without the "-s" flag.
Then I try again with the next line of "apt-get -dy" output until "apt-get install -s" finally says, it would remove something.
This procedure is cumbersome and error prone, because you might overlook important messages of " apt-get install -s".
But just not DUing, sometimes leaves me in unrest too
