I dont know that I have seen that exact statement before... Sometimes apt will
show files that are no longer needed due to an update or something. If thats
the case you can try sudo apt autoremove.  Another time ive seen it still
showing an update or something held back from an update is that it needs sudo
apt dist-upgrade.  I will say Im no linux genius and I run debian, but I do
run the daily's so I am having to trouble shoot a lot.. Give those a try..
