Easy (hopefully) apt-get question

[Tony Uceda Velez <tvelez@secureworks.com>]

Greetings - 
When I do a apt-get upgrade (after doing an apt-get update), I see that the
only libs/ files/ etc that are updated are some utils and libraries for
mutt.  Is there a default file/ conf file that I need to alter to update the
rest of my packages on my system (pertaining to brownser, gaim, shell
windows, mail clients, etc,etc).

Thanks...still new to Debian (obviously).
