Why are some checkboxes in Software Updater disabled?

Why are some checkboxes in Software Updater disabled?

In Ubuntu 13.04, the Software Updater shows some apps as having updates, but they're non-selectable:

It's not clear why they're greyed out.
On the command line:
$ sudo apt-get upgrade
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree      
Reading state information... Done
The following packages have been kept back:
  gnuplot-nox gnuplot-x11 kdevelop nvidia-current
0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 4 not upgraded.
How can I get to the bottom of this? I'd like that update to kdevelop.
