For some reason, this just now triggered a memory for me. I think sometimes when aptitude is making suggestions to resolve conflicts, it will un-hold packages.

I'm not sure this helps you at all, but it might (maybe?) make aptitude seem less cruel and capricious. -- monique -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
