I'm running a clean installation of Kodibuntu. Just upgraded to 14.1. I see that there are a few packages which are being kept back by apt-get.
In particular I'm interested in libva1, because VDPAU is very important for Kodi on my lower power ION system. Is there any reason not to upgrade? I currently have version 1.3.0 installed, and it says 1.4.0 is available. It looks like this would install two new packages va-driver-all and vdpau-va-driver. I like to be on the latest version, but I want to know if there's some reason Kodibuntu chose to leave this out.

apt-get needs root privileges for real execution.
Keep also in mind that locking is deactivated,
so don't depend on the relevance to the real current situation!
