It means that there is a new package available for those packages, but they aren't being upgraded for some reason. The most common reason is that the new version depends on a package you don't have installed, and you are doing a simple apt-get upgrade. If you do apt-get dist-upgrade, it will be willing to install new packages. Alternatively, you could run apt-get install the package which was kept back. -- David Roundy http://civet.berkeley.edu/droundy/
