Severity: important

I'd like mc (midnight commander) not to be updated all the time. I use
"aptitude hold mc" as it described in manual.

Debug output:

Description: midnight commander - a powerful file manager
 GNU Midnight Commander is a text-mode full-screen file manager. It
 uses a two panel interface and a subshell for command execution. It
 includes an internal editor with syntax highlighting and an internal
 viewer with support for binary files. Also included is Virtual
 Filesystem (VFS), that allows files on remote systems (e.g. FTP, SSH,
 SMB servers) and files inside archives to be manipulated like real files.
