Updating

[Thomas Beckett]

I attempted to use the update-notifier to update my Hoary install last
night it said 55 were to be updated but that 17 were being held back
and not updated. Anyone know why? - I ran apt-get dist-upgrade from
the terminal and the 17 were updated fine. They were all gnome related
stuff (gnome-panel etc) so is it because I ran it from the terminal
with X stopped that they then updated (I didnt think it distinguished
like this) or is it because I ran dist-upgrade and the update-notifier
uses the nornal upgrade??
