According to this askubuntu.com question, if your Debian-based Linux tells you The following packages have been kept back: while upgrading, you might do this:
- Run
sudo apt-get --with-new-pkgs upgrade - Run
sudo apt-get install <list of packages kept back> - (If nothing else helps, run
sudo apt-get dist-upgrade, but beware of automatic package removals!)

All I wanted to say was that I think this answer is the most concise clear explanation of what to do in this situation.
