Hello, I would avoid upgrade of few packages when I upgrade my system from a new distribution. Packages I should not upgrade are "base", "netscape" and few others. "base" because I changed some rights on devices (under /dev) and I don't want to reset them (and "base" is not required to upgrade (see package description)). "netscape" because I don't want to upgrade it synchronously with system upgrade (mostly because it's only an installer that require netscape tar to be present in /tmp :( ).
Is there a way to tell dselect/dpkg to skip some installed packages during an upgrade without removing them from distribution ? (if provided on a cdrom, it hard to erase them ;) ) (dpkg is called from dselect passing -iGROEB options that recursively parse distribution directories and upgrade *all* packages previously installed).
