I have Debian 12 installed on a server with NVIDIA ADA RTX4500 GPUs (used
for machine learning with Tensorflow via Docker images). When I upgrade
("sudo apt upgrade"), I get the message that a number of packages (all
related to Nvidia) have been "kept back".

I am not sure what to do: should I upgrade them? Why have they been kept
back? Is there the possibility that upgrading breaks the system somehow?

My experience with Nvidia software (especially CUDA Toolkit) and Tensorflow
was pretty bad in the past (lots of compatibility issues): after I migrated
to Docker images, the situation has improved a lot, but I am still worried
that upgrading Nvidia software can make my GPUs/Tensorflow images not
working. Is there any piece of advice/common practice in this scenario?
What would be the command to upgrade all the packages "kept back"?

Best,
Livio
