The following packages have been kept back:
   gdk-imlib1 (1.9.14-16.2ubuntu4 => 1.9.14-29ubuntu1)
   libkrb5-17-heimdal (0.6.3-11ubuntu1.2 => 0.7.1-1ubuntu3)
   libopenal0 (0.2004090900-1.1build1 => 0.2005080600-2.1build2)
   moagg (0.18-1build1 => 0.18-3)
0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 4 not upgraded.
kip at Red:~ $

It is still too cryptic for me to understand what it is telling me.

Thanks for the fast reply.
