Update updates the package database; upgrade actually does what you want

sudo apt-get safe-upgrade

or

sudo apt-get full-upgrade

you can read more in the manpage with

man apt-get

or here (same thing):
http://man.cx/apt-get

Try each of the following commands one-by-one:
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get upgrade
sudo apt-get dist-upgrade
