JFTR: Using hold instead of keep ("=" instead of ":") results in the wanted solution (but hinders a later manual upgrade by the admin). # aptitude -P full-upgrade '~U' openssh-client+ openssh-server= The following packages have been kept back: openssh-server{b} The following packages will be REMOVED: libbsd0{u} libedit2{u} openssh-client{u} 0 packages upgraded, 0 newly installed, 3 to remove and 1 not upgraded. Need to get 0 B of archives. After unpacking 2665 kB will be freed. The following packages have unmet dependencies: openssh-server : Depends: openssh-client (= 1:6.0p1-3) but it is not going to be installed. The following actions will resolve these dependencies: Keep the following packages at their current version: 1) libbsd0 [0.4.2-1 (now, testing)] 2) libedit2 [2.11-20080614-5 (now, testing)] 3) openssh-client [1:6.0p1-3 (now)] Accept this solution?
