I try to run apt-get upgrade once a week. I'm just pulling stuff from the potato dist, because I have no real need for bleeding-edge stuff. Anyway, for the past couple of weeks, I've been getting this message from apt-get:
chester:/home/steve# apt-get upgrade Reading Package Lists... Done Building Dependency Tree... Done The following packages have been kept back gedit gimp1.1 gimp1.1-perl gnumeric libgimp1.1 sawfish sawfish-gnome task-helix-gnome 0 packages upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 8 not upgraded. What does this mean... "packages have been kept back"? Is this a Good/Bad Thing (TM)? Since I use helix-gnome with sawfish, I would like to have the most up-to-date stable versions. How do I make apt-get fetch these packages? Thanks for the help in advance. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Stephen W.
