I'm back from holiday in Croatia, and now I tried to update packages.
Apt tells me that some packages are been holded...
How can I solve this?
signorcastello@nicolo-pc:~$ sudo apt update && sudo apt upgrade

You can use synaptic package manager to update the nvidia drivers. There is a command to do it in apt, but i don't recall off the top of my head. I'll look in a bit to find it.
I didn't leave the forum and found the information. Links don't always need to be external. If anyone would use the search function of the forum you can find a lot of information without surfing other sites.

Abort.
Did you attempt to change the driver you are using, delete the offending packages and run an update after? It may be because the driver is in use that it is unable to update the nvidia packages. While it may normally occur, if they changed the version of the language used to write the driver, this could require a complete reinstall of the driver, not allowing it to be upgraded.
