The following packages will be upgraded:

1 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 0 not upgraded.
Need to get 69.6 kB of archives.
After this operation, 57.3 kB disk space will be freed.

Abort.
# aptitude upgrade
No packages will be installed, upgraded, or removed.
0 packages upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 1 not upgraded.
Need to get 0 B of archives. After unpacking 0 B will be used.
What gives? The same is happening when I use aptitude safe-upgrade, as it should I suppose. ;-)
Of course I can simply use apt-get but I also want to understand what is going on.

As we don't know what kind of setup you're having (stable, bpo, testing,
unstable...), it's hard to tell what's up. How about aptitude dist-upgrade?

Did you first update the packages database?
apt-get update
aptitude update
Then, I would try to make them more verbose:
apt-get -V upgrade
aptitude -vvv upgrade

Is this a squeeze system? -Then you should make sure you have
security.debian.org in your sources.list. The current version from s.d.o
is 5.1.61-0+squeeze1.
You may want to post the output of 'apt-cache policy'.

aptitude why-not mysql-common

apt-get and aptitude both use the same package database. Running the
'udpate' for both of them is not required.
What's still separated, AFAIK, is the 'hold' mechanism. Bonno, you could
try 'aptitude unhold mysql-common' and see whether aptitude wants to
upgrade now.

I wish I could achieve a 'just stepped out of the salon' look more
often. Or at least once.

Surely it is worth following the earlier suggestion and doing an "aptitude
full-upgrade" before trying more complicated things?
