For some reason, apt is not seeing the 3.1 packages as newer/higher priority than your existing packages - you can diagnose this using apt-cache policy: apt-cache policy kdeutils This will tell you what version you have installed, what versions are available (and their prioirity) and whether or not apt thinks the package should be upgraded. A priority of 500 is the default given to all sources unless overridden in /etc/apt/preferences (apt_preferences(5)). A priority of 100 is given to installed packages. You should try (or have tried) this command for a few of the packages to see why apt didn't want to upgrade, and create/edit /etc/apt/preferences to suit.
