Ordinarily Ubuntu keeps packages back because upgrading them
would require installing new packages or deleting old ones.
See what happens if you do

sudo apt-get install [package]

where [package] is one of the packages that Ubuntu said it
was holding back.

I *believe* that

sudo apt-get dist-upgrade

will also upgrade all the packages that have been held back.
Though be careful, because sometimes it may delete packages
that you actually want.
