What does this apt message mean?

[Scott Blair]

A workaround to this problem that seems to occur sometimes when you have
certain packages installed on your system is to simply run 'apt-get
install' followed by the list of packages returned after the "following
packages have been kept back" message when you ran 'apt-get upgrade'.
