Historically it meant there was an unsatisfiable dependency. It could
mean that the depdency (or a suitable version of it) is completely
unavailable, or that it’s available but for some reason not installable
or upgradable.

Currently it can also mean that the upgrade is being phased and it’s not
your turn yet. I think the diagnostic for this is being improved.
