Problems with apt-get upgrade:

Hi, this is what I get when I try to apt-get upgrade. Can anyone tell me what is wrong? Thanks.

Code: Select all

:/usr/bin# apt-get upgrade
Reading Package Lists... Done
Building Dependency Tree... Done
The following packages have been kept back:
  cupsys grace libmotif-dev motif-clients plotutils xmhtml1

Need to get 0B of archives.
After unpacking 0B of additional disk space will be used.
Do you want to continue? [Y/n]

To install the packages that have been kept back, do apt-get dist-upgrade.

If you are using kernel 2.6.x, modutils is no longer required and can be safely removed. (It has been replaced by module-init-tools.)

If you are using kernel 2.4.x, Line 9 of /etc/modutils/0keep should contain the word keep - no more, no less.
