Since the 19th October I have been getting this error when updating my nightly:

"The following packages have been kept back"

I tried running a "sudo apt-get dist-upgrade", but it still is not updating.. Any idea why it stops updating all of a sudden? I am running Ubuntu 14.04.1 LTS and have been updating regularly prior to this..

sudo ap-get install xbmc

This will update xbmc (which is now a dummy package) and install kodi and kodi.bin
