I think in your case of blocking xorg you might simply reach a tipping point at which aptitude's conflict resolver decides that ignoring one hold is better than keeping back so many upgradable packages. You might have to "hold" some additional packages to make it stick, e.g. the main xorg libraries. > (There is an example of the issue I am having on my website) Did you try any of the things that were suggested in the thread that you started about this on debian-laptop? -- Regards, | http://users.icfo.es/Florian.Kulzer Florian | -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
