To upgrade you Debian installation usually you use:

apt-get update
apt-get upgrade

This should upgrade all installed packages. But sometimes there is a message that some packages are kept back. This means that dependencies have changed on one of the packages you have installed so that a newer package must be installed to upgrade.

To fix this you must execute:

apt-get dist-upgrade

This will do the trick.
