Folks,

  I have seen this message when I am using Update Manager to add a new 
package that I want to get from the repositories and there are also 
Updates waiting that are part of the automatic update feature...

Since I am requesting just a package or two, the rest are held until I 
request an Update of the release.

I have no idea if the command line interface works in that same fashion 
or not.

Cheers,
Jay
