$ grep dapper-updates /etc/apt/sources.list
deb http://mirror.pacific.net.au/linux/ubuntu dapper-updates main
restricted universe multiverse 
deb-src http://mirror.pacific.net.au/linux/ubuntu dapper-updates main
restricted universe multiverse

(Ignore the line wrap - just to show what you are missing )

You don't seem to have any "dapper-updates" in your list.

So I suspect you are getting security updates but no "new and different"
stuff - including the updates that would bring you to 6.06.1.

I suggest adding or uncommenting the dapper-updates lines, which in your
case would look something like

deb http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ dapper-updates main restricted
universe multiverse
