The packages listed are ready but there is a dependancy which is common to them all. When that package (or packages) are ready, then it will come down. Currently the dependencies are not satisfiable so they are held back. If you are not on natty and want to be then download and MD5 test the natty alternative ISO and you can upgrade using that.

Can you help with this problem?
