http://www.debian.org/doc/manuals/apt-howto/ch-apt-get.en.html#s-pin Heh, now that I look for it I can't find actual documentation of the simpler method, although I'm sure you could hunt it down in list archives. You can edit debian/changelog and change the version number, either by a tiny notch (0.0.1) to prevent apt from overwriting it with the current version, or by an enormous leap (prepend "1:" or increase any epoch that's already there). -- Colin Watson [[EMAIL PROTECTED]] -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
