Package: release-notes Version: lenny Severity: normal Section 4.2.3. Checking packages status says:
-----------<snip>----------- It is desirable to remove any holds before upgrading. <snip> package state for aptitude can be changed using: # aptitude hold package_name Replace hold with unhold to unset the "hold" state. -----------<snip>----------- The last sentence is wrong. Aptitude unhold is broken in etch and does nothing (AFIK). The work-around is to instead do: aptitude install package_name+ -- System Information: Debian Release: 4.0 APT prefers oldstable APT policy: (500, 'oldstable') Architecture: i386 (i686) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Kernel: Linux 2.6.18-6-686 Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
