Your current package configuration, and available upgrade packages, conflict with existing versions of some package. Until the dependencies are resolved, the older version of the package is retained -- the package is "held back". Typically, these issues resolve over time. You can force updates (and risk conflicts) by using apt-get or dpkg manually on a specific package, see man pages. -- Karsten M.
