I've looked through the help screens and man pages of both dpkg and apt-get and I can't find anything that will let me place a package version on hold using these tools. I'd like to avoid using dselect if possible since a) the structure of the categorys is at times unintutive, and b) the last time I wen't int there is screwed up some dependancys and I got stuck in an infinate dependancy conflict resolution. Don't want to go through that again.
