The following packages have been kept back:
gdk-imlib1 libkrb5-17-heimdal libopenal0 moagg
0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 4 not upgraded.

I get this type of error whenever I do a security update. The message
says do sudo apt-get dist-upgrade to fix it. As you can see it does not
fix the problem.

So now what?

Try sudo apt-get -V dist-upgrade

That should give you more information about why.
