Joris,
so, is there a way to stop a certian package from being upgraded?
At least with aptitude you can indicate a package must be kept in it's
current version; unfortunately, I do not know how to do this with
dpkg/apt-get (I think it's probably done by apt-get in some way, but I
haven't found how to tell apt-get to do that, manually)
(Though I hope the post on xfree86 drivers in xorg will help you find a
way to do it in xorg -- it will be less work, you'll be using pure-sid
etc ;-) )
HTH,
Joris
echo xfree86-common hold | sudo dpkg --set-selections
echo xserver-common hold | sudo dpkg --set-selections
echo xserver-xfree86 hold | sudo dpkg --set-selections
There may be other packages to put on hold, as well, but these are the
ones that come to mind. If these are held, any others that should be
probably wont upgrade anyway, due to dependancies.
