$ echo $package hold | dpkg --set-selections This trick also properly altered both aptitide and apt-get. As I checked and recall, lenny had this enabled. (I rarely use apt-get so I had no reason to use dpkg. aptitude hold was enough for me. It is nice to see things work together flawlessly together.) I just updated next debian-eference along this. http://www.debian.org/doc/manuals/debian-reference/ch02.en.html#_basic_package_management_operations_with_the_commandline http://www.debian.org/doc/manuals/debian-reference/ch02.en.html#listofadvancedpagementoperations Osamu -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
