# Noted that one package, 'mantis', was intentionally on hold

The release notes state:
If you changed and recompiled a package locally, and didn't rename it or
put an epoch in the version, you must put it on hold to prevent it from
being upgraded.
I expected that my package and any dependencies would not be upgraded, or
that aptitude would give me an error message if this somehow caused an
unresolvable situation. Unfortunately, it upgraded the package anyway,
wiping out some local changes. Not catastrophic in this case, but
contrary to the information in the release notes at least.
Paul.
