It means, that there are newer packages. They could be updated, but you told
them not to stick with this old version (maybe by using the hold option?)

You can unhold them, by specifying "unhold" before the packet name.

You should be sure, that the newer version of the packet does not correlate
with other dependencies :)

Hope this helps
