    [SOLVED] Update Packages

    Hi,
    I use Kubuntu 9.10 version, and if i upgrade with tha apt-get, I will get this:

    'The following packages will be block' (Perhaps something similar would be in English.)
    bind9-host dnsutils libbind9-50 libdns50 libisc50 libisccc50 libisccfg50 liblwres50
    linux-generic linux-headers-generic linux-image-generic sreadahead


    My questions are:
    why are they blocked?
    how can I resolve them?
    aren't they allowed to use?
    if they redundant, how can I remove them? - just because a black window always notifies me that new updates are available, but I can not update my system.

    They aren't really blocked, just being held back at this point. This happens because they have dependencies that you don't have installed yet, or they are new packages replacing packages that you have. This is especially true for kernel updates. The following command should work for you.

    sudo apt-get dist-upgrade
    Two levels higher than a newb.
    (I can search google)
