Update issue

I am a translator!
When I run some apt command, I have a message that ayatana-settings, group-service, libgroup-service1 and mate-user-admin are unnecessary and I should run sudo apt autoremove to remove them. If I do so, later one, the GUI for software updates tells me there are 4 packages to install and if I say ok, it re-installs them.
Besides, "sudo apt upgrade" says the package trisque is not updated. It is the same if I try dist-upgrade, full-upgrade or with aptitude.
Not sure what to do.
"sudo apt upgrade" says the package trisque is not updated.
No explanation is given? Maybe broken packages? The Synaptic Package Manager has a Custom Filter (one of the buttons in the lower-left corner of the window; then seek "Broken" above them) to list them.

Synaptic says no package is broken.
No information why on the previous commands.
I just tried "sudo aptitude dist-upgrade", this is different:
used@imac:~$ LC_ALL=C sudo aptitude dist-upgrade
The following NEW packages will be installed:
ayatana-settings{a} group-service{a} libgroup-service1{a} mate-user-admin{a}
The following packages will be REMOVED:
gnome-system-tools{a} liboobs-1-5{u} system-tools-backends{u}
The following packages will be upgraded:
trisquel
1 packages upgraded, 4 newly installed, 3 to remove and 0 not upgraded.
Need to get 2068 B/1014 kB of archives. After unpacking 8084 kB will be freed.
Do you want to continue? [Y/n/?]
Does it look ok to say yes?
I had this, said yes, and it was fine. It seems that the others (like apt, etc.) are unable to handle this situation.
I am confused. Or, maybe, Avron was confused when he wrote that the software updater "re-installs" the four packages that 'apt autoremove' removed. Such an infinite loop has actually never existed?
Maybe a new install using the oficial (old) iso set.

Yes, I used the official (old) iso. Has the new one become official?
EDIT: I forgot to confirm that, after doing the dist-upgrade with aptitude, there is no more upgrade loop issue.
