Thanks, based on your comments I'm updating now...

I see that the following packages have been kept back:
  amarok amarok-xine hpijs libggi2 libgnutls-dev libgnutls12 mplayer proftpd
  python-adns python-clientcookie python-crypto python-egenix-mxproxy
  python-egenix-mxstack python-egenix-mxtexttools python-egenix-mxtools
  python-gadfly python-htmlgen python-htmltmpl python-imaging
  python-imaging-sane python-jabber python-kde3 python-kjbuckets python-ldap
  python-mysqldb python-pam python-pexpect python-pgsql python-pylibacl
  python-pyopenssl python-pyxattr python-reportlab python-simpletal
  python-soappy python-sqlite python-syck python-xmpp tellico ubuntu-minimal
  vmware-player xserver-xorg-core xserver-xorg-input-elographics
  xserver-xorg-input-evdev xserver-xorg-input-kbd xserver-xorg-input-mouse
  xserver-xorg-input-synaptics

Any good reason for this? Anything that I need to check?
