Use the d command in aptitude to see the dependencies. If you use dselect, it will tell you that a package can't be upgraded because of unmet dependencies when you try to upgrade. apt-cache depends package_name will also show you the dependencies of a package. Apt-cache isn't much help because you will have to look at the version of each package to figure out what is causing the problem. Aptitude and dselect are more user friendly for this.
