They have dependencies that aren't satisfied automatically. If you use
'apt-get' you can run

 # apt-get dist-upgrade

to see if that helps. Otherwise you can always re-install the packages
mentioned:

 # apt-get install linux-image-2.6-386 linux-restricted-modules-2.6-386

Beware that depending on the reason for the packages to be held back you
might want to wait with upgrading rather than force it.

Software is not manufactured, it is something you write and publish.
Keep Europe free from software patents, we do not want censorship
by patent law on written works.

Between the truth and the search for truth, I opt for the second.
