libopenal0 (0.2004090900-1.1build1 => 0.2005080600-2.1build2)
moagg (0.18-1build1 => 0.18-3)

It is still too cryptic for me to understand what it is telling me.

Thanks for the fast reply.

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.
