Question about - "The following packages have been kept back:"

[Robert Cates]

Hi all,

 

I've got a general question concerning apt-get - what would be the reason(s)
for the below message when I upgrade my packages?  Do I need to do an
apt-get upgrade again at a later time, or is there something I need to do
right away to get it to install?  I somehow was wondering if it's because
the package maintainer does not have the package quite ready for an upgrade.

 

The following packages have been kept back:

  linux-image-2.6-686

 

thanks in advance for your help!

Robert
