<[EMAIL PROTECTED]> was heard to say:
When I use h in the curses interface to hold package in its
current state
aptitude still considers the package upgradeable. Thus if I hold
for example my
graphics driver because the new versions are broken I can no
longer use u on
the X11 folder in the tree view because it marks the graphics
driver for
upgrade as well. The hold flag should really hold the package in
its current
state as described in the help until un-held.
If I set packages to a hold state, they seem to be held properly.
Perhaps there are some packages that depend on newer versions of the
packages that you have held?
Daniel
The scenario I am talking about;
1) hold xorg-video-ati (or whatevet it is called right now)
2) close aptitude
3) open aptitude, open the upgradable packages subtree, locate the
(still closed) X11 subtree
4) press u on the X11 subtree
result: the video driver is marked for upgrade
if I manually find it and say it should be left as is there is no
dependency problem
expected: the driver is left as is. If I marked the package to be
held in current state it is because I do not want it upgraded.
Thanks
Michal
