Packages Kept Back

Most likely a known issue for most people, but I had a gotcha moment today when I discovered what "The following packages have been kept back" from an "apt-get upgrade" means and how to resolve it.
Created on 13th October 2006 01:10 PM. Ubuntu

Turns out it means the dependencies of the package have changed, and so other packages need to be installed. Can be resolved with a simple "apt-get install <package-name>". 

Easy when you know how!
