Do you obtain data via network (up & running checked?) or from CD?
If you know which package to install - if you know its NAME - why

No, I think it's acting completely as intended and predictable.
Maybe it's due to a partially failed upgrade process?

You lack patience, maybe knowledge, at least experience. :-)
But that's no problem as long as you're willing to learn from
the given sources and hints.
