Hey Rick,

from the apt users guide (located in /usr/doc/apt/):

  Whenever the whole system is being upgraded there is the
possibility
  that new versions of packages cannot be installed because they
require
  new things or conflict with already installed things. In this case
the
  package will appear in the Kept Back list. The best way to
convince
  packages listed there to install is with `apt-get install' or by
using
  `dselect' to resolve their problems.

To install them, just run apt-get install <package1>,
[<package2>...]
