While exploring MQTT I had installed the Mosquitto message broker on my Raspberry Pi. However, the version that is in the Debian Wheezy repository is, as of this writing, really old (v0.15). So an upgrade was in order and fortunately the guys from Mosquitto have set up a Debian repo of their own and a description how to use it.

But on my system I then got the following message:
xxx@yyy:/etc/apt/sources.list.d# sudo apt-get upgrade
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree
Reading state information... Done
The following packages have been kept back:
  mosquitto mosquitto-clients
0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 2 not upgraded.

The general recommendation to solve this is run
sudo apt-get dist-upgradeI did not want to do this for various reasons. So the approach I took instead, was to simply remove the old version with sudo apt-get remove mosquitto mosquitto-clients and re-install it, then taking the new version from the Mosquitto repo sudo apt-get install mosquitto mosquitto-clientswhich worked nicely for me.
