Did you try the apt-get update suggestion? If you're still wondering what it does, apt-get is the package manager (the gui you use for installing packages sits on top of it). Apt-get update is the command to update your package catalogs (basically what the gui runs before it tells you which packages need to be updated).
I'd recommend running the following in order under the xterm:
apt-get clean
apt-get update
apt-get upgrade
The first cleans out the package manager cache and the last will upgrade any packages with new versions. Afterwards, open up the package manager and search for new updates. See if the problem remains. HTH.
