In xterm typing apt-get upgrade showed that i have a package named "libeet1" being held back, so i typed apt-get install libeet1
and it said that it need a dependencies named "libeina1"
so i typed apt-get install libeina1 but its a large package of about 16 MB, so is it important to upgrade libeet1 ? and why its kept back ?

Not sure why it's being kept back but the change log and dependencies for libeet1 are here so you can decide whether it is important or not

It's being kept back because upgrading it would require installing new packages (rather than just upgrading existing installed packages). You need to use "install" to force it to go ahead with the upgrade & new installs.

Same issue:

apt-get install libeet1
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree
Reading state information... Done
Some packages could not be installed. This may mean that you have
requested an impossible situation or if you are using the unstable
distribution that some required packages have not yet been created
or been moved out of Incoming.
The following information may help to resolve the situation:

The following packages have unmet dependencies:
libeet1: Depends: libeina1 (>= 1.0.0~beta) but it is not going to be installed
E: Broken packages

Then libeina1 must conflict - probably with libeina0. You'll need to try install that manually (which should then remove any conflicting packages).

Add this to /etc/apt/preferences file if you don't want get notification during apt-get upgrade.

Code:
Package: libeet1
Pin: version 1.2.2*
Pin-Priority: 1001
Don't know if new version is needed somewhere. If yes, then unpin file and install required files.
