Package: synaptic Version: 0.57.5.1 Severity: normal Reproduce: Run synaptic Select a test package, for example "twm". Select Package -> Lock Version Select the same package (twm). Unselect Package -> Lock Version Ctrl-Q to Quit synaptic Run synaptic Search for test package (twm). Notice test package (twm) is still Locked / Pinned.
There is no way (that I know of) to un-Version Lock a package. I version locked buggy package version, but synaptic won't let me upgrade. I eventually gave up on synaptic and used apt-get to install a different package version. Note: I use the package "twm" as an example, this bug is exposed with any package. -- System Information: Debian Release: testing/unstable APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable'), (500, 'testing'), (500, 'stable'), (1, 'experimental') Architecture: i386 (i686) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Kernel: Linux 2.6.13.4+satyr.48 Locale: LANG=en_US, LC_CTYPE=en_US (charmap=ANSI_X3.4-1968) (ignored: LC_ALL set to C) Versions of packages synaptic depends on: ii apt [libapt-pkg-libc6.3-6 0.6.41 Advanced front-end for dpkg ii libatk1.0-0 1.10.1-2 The ATK accessibility toolkit ii libc6 2.3.5-6 GNU C Library: Shared libraries an ii libfontconfig1 2.3.2-1 generic font configuration library ii libfreetype6 2.1.7-2.4 FreeType 2 font engine, shared lib ii libgcc1 1:4.0.2-2 GCC support library ii libglade2-0 1:2.5.1-2 library to load .glade files at ru ii libglib2.0-0 2.8.1-1 The GLib library of C routines ii libgtk2.0-0 2.6.10-1 The GTK+ graphical user interface ii libice6 6.8.2.dfsg.1-7 Inter-Client Exchange library ii libncurses5 5.4-9 Shared libraries for terminal hand ii libpango1.0-0 1.8.2-2 Layout and rendering of internatio ii libsm6 6.8.2.dfsg.1-7 X Window System Session Management ii libstdc++6 4.0.2-2 The GNU Standard C++ Library v3 ii libvte4 1:0.11.15-1 Terminal emulator widget for GTK+ ii libx11-6 6.8.2.dfsg.1-7 X Window System protocol client li ii libxft2 2.1.7-1 FreeType-based font drawing librar ii libxml2 2.6.22-1 GNOME XML library ii libxrender1 1:0.9.0-2 X Rendering Extension client libra ii scrollkeeper 0.3.14-10 A free electronic cataloging syste ii xlibs 6.8.2.dfsg.1-7 X Window System client libraries m ii zlib1g 1:1.2.3-4 compression library - runtime Versions of packages synaptic recommends: ii deborphan 1.7.17 Find orphaned libraries ii gksu 1.3.0-1 graphical frontend to su ii libgnome2-perl 1.023-1 Perl interface to the GNOME librar -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
