Anyway to find out what's holding them ?
Try it like this:
apt-get install libmateweather-common=1.6.2-1 libmatewnck-common=1.6.2-1
That should not upgrade these packages, but it should show why apt
refuses to do anything about them.
apt-get says it can't find them.

Basically it wants to remove all of Mate :)
Another user..Jack Malmostoso says
MATE is slowly transitioning from the MATE repository to Debian.
Give it a few days and they will all be "upgraded". I think it's just
about version numbering, more than updates proper.
We'll see.
Thanks all
