apt upgrade has a ton of packages in the "kept back" state for weeks, so I'm stuck with the upgrade and don't know what to do

When I try to do a upgrade using apt I get a message saying these packages have been kept back, but it's been like this for weeks.

kde-cli-tools kde-cli-tools-data kde-config-screenlocker khotkeys khotkeys-data kscreen kubuntu-restricted-addons kwin-common kwin-data kwin-wayland kwin-x11 libcolorcorrect5 libk3b8 libkf5screen-bin libkfontinst5 libkfontinstui5 libkscreenlocker5 libkwineffects14 libkwinglutils14 libkworkspace5-5 libnotificationmanager1 libnvidia-cfg1-525 libnvidia-compute-525 libnvidia-compute-525:i386 libnvidia-decode-525 libnvidia-decode-525:i386 libnvidia-encode-525
libnvidia-encode-525:i386 libnvidia-extra-525 libnvidia-fbc1-525 libnvidia-fbc1-525:i386 libnvidia-gl-525 libnvidia-gl-525:i386 libplasma-geolocation-interface5 libpowerdevilcore2 libpowerdevilui5 libtaskmanager6 libweather-ion7 linux-modules-nvidia-525-generic nvidia-compute-utils-525 nvidia-driver-525 nvidia-kernel-common-525 nvidia-kernel-source-525 nvidia-utils-525 plasma-desktop plasma-desktop-data plasma-workspace plasma-workspace-data
plasma-workspace-wayland powerdevil powerdevil-data systemsettings xserver-xorg-video-nvidia-525

I have checked the Phasing Ubuntu Stable Release Updates page [Phasing Ubuntu Stable Release Updates][1] page but it says nothing about those packages for kinetic.

It's annoying because I have an error in a graphical application using the OpenGL renderer, though Vulkan works, that started when I did my last upgrade and ran into this issue, so I think that may be related to the nvidia stuff being out of sync with the rest of the upgrades that went through due the driver being held back.

I can't use the Vulkan renderer though because of the crap code installation in the app, so Vulkan either runs like treacle at 1fps or I remove a gfx extension from the app to run at full fps but without most textures and models being rendered. So the Vulkan renderer works while at the same time not actually working.

And I have no idea what to do about this situation. Usually kept back packages resolve themselves, but like i said this has been weeks now and the phased update page says nothing about them.

Help?
