(TIP) (How to Fix) 'The following packages will be kept back'

"The following packages will be kept back"

If during a $ sudo apt-get upgrade you see a message that "The following packages will be kept back" followed by one or more package names, it means that the upgrade would require another package to be deleted, or a new package to be installed so that yours can be installed.

To actually complete the install, run:

sudo apt-get --with-new-pkgs upgrade

This will first alert you to what other packagers need to be deleted or installed to get your desired one installed.
