That usually means you need to do a dist-upgrade:

Code:

sudo apt dist-upgrade

,,,,,,,,,well the dist-upgrade is for apt-get ,,,,,,apt uses the full-upgrade for the same function...

so it's either

Code:

sudo apt-get update

followed by

Code:

sudo apt-get dist-upgrade

or

Code:

sudo apt update

followed by

Code:

sudo apt full-upgrade

I used sudo apt dist-upgrade

After that I got 87 packages to upgrade. Once upgraded I rebooted and now this problem is fixed.

well perhaps their is cross compatibility ,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,but from "man apt"

Code:

    update (apt-get(8))
         update is used to download package information from all configured sources. Other commands operate on this
         data to e.g. perform package upgrades or search in and display details about all packages available for
         installation.

     upgrade (apt-get(8))
         upgrade is used to install available upgrades of all packages currently installed on the system from the
         sources configured via sources.list(5). New packages will be installed if required to statisfy
         dependencies, but existing packages will never be removed. If an upgrade for a package requires the remove
         of an installed package the upgrade for this package isn't performed.

     full-upgrade (apt-get(8))
         full-upgrade performs the function of upgrade but will remove currently installed packages if this is
         needed to upgrade the system as a whole.

and "man apt-get"

Code:

     update
         update is used to resynchronize the package index files from their sources. The indexes of available
         packages are fetched from the location(s) specified in /etc/apt/sources.list. For example, when using a
         Debian archive, this command retrieves and scans the Packages.gz files, so that information about new and
         updated packages is available. An update should always be performed before an upgrade or dist-upgrade.
         Please be aware that the overall progress meter will be incorrect as the size of the package files cannot
         be known in advance.

     upgrade
         upgrade is used to install the newest versions of all packages currently installed on the system from the
         sources enumerated in /etc/apt/sources.list. Packages currently installed with new versions available are
         retrieved and upgraded; under no circumstances are currently installed packages removed, or packages not
         already installed retrieved and installed. New versions of currently installed packages that cannot be
         upgraded without changing the install status of another package will be left at their current version. An
         update must be performed first so that apt-get knows that new versions of packages are available.

     dist-upgrade
         dist-upgrade in addition to performing the function of upgrade, also intelligently handles changing
         dependencies with new versions of packages; apt-get has a "smart" conflict resolution system, and it will
         attempt to upgrade the most important packages at the expense of less important ones if necessary. The
         dist-upgrade command may therefore remove some packages. The /etc/apt/sources.list file contains a list of
         locations from which to retrieve desired package files. See also apt_preferences(5) for a mechanism for
         overriding the general settings for individual packages.

I prefer to stay with apt-get. The documentation for apt is a bit fuzzy last time I looked. And the much touted saving in typing is meaningless since most of us will have set up aliases
