Any time you see some not upgraded it is important to find out whether
this is just because there are some new updates or because they are
held for some reason.  So any time this happens do
sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade
I suggest also running
sudo apt-get clean
and
sudo apt-get autoclean
as it can't do any harm.
Then repeat Gary's commands and see if anything changes.

If you want to have a go by yourself you could do worse than working
through http://askubuntu.com/questions/140246/how-do-i-resolve-unmet-dependencies.
If you do this make sure you copy/paste the results of any commands
into a document so that you know what you have done.
