["Peter Watkinson" <peter.watkinson1@ntlworld.com>]

Hi there,

when i do an apt-get upgrade I sometimes get the following message

the following packages have been held back

and a list of packages

for instance this time kde-base

what does this mean and why does it happen?




Thanks for any help.

Kind regards,
