Hi Chuck,
I guess, the command you want to use is:
# apt-get install calmd
since 'apt-get upgrade' ignores any package names provided, because it
is intended to do an upgrade of all installed packages with new
versions available (see: man apt-get).
I am not entirely sure if 'apt-get install' won't also try to pull in
the other packages anyway, since I haven't been using apt-get for a
while. But as Kevin already wrote, there is a reason why those
packages shall be upgraded.
