Recently installed Ubuntu. After a month I tried to upgrade all the packages but 5 of them got held back and I couldn't figure out why.
I ran the command sudo apt-get dist-upgrade and now running upgrade command shows no packages are held back but running update command still shows the earlier packages.

Also should I remove the packages terminal is asking me to remove or are there risks.
