Question #78540 on update-manager in ubuntu changed: https://answers.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/update-manager/+question/78540
actionparsnip proposed the following answer: Some updates are reported as "held back" either because they are not always needed and is protecting the user from its own ignorance (A new kernel is completely unnecessary if all hardware is working and the system is responsive) or their are dependancys that cannot be met yet and they are in the pipeline. If you run: sudo apt-get dist-upgrade it will pull them down too, or you can specifically reinstall the app and it will make it come down. Something like: sudo apt-get --reinstall install <package name> This can break your system however. When the update is ready to be installed it will come down with all your other upgrades.
