I have been using sid and do not want iceweasel 29. I have decided to revert to iceweasel 24.5 and have now put that on hold (=) in dselect and worry that will override my decision and upgrade anyway. Is there a better way to make sure apt never upgrades from iceweasel 24.5 like pin or priority o

SASL borked after upgrade to wheezy

Hi, I recently upgraded my VPS from squeeze to wheezy using the Debian upgrade instructions. There were a few issues, most of which I've sorted, but this one's a killer. The server runs a postfix mail server with dovecot imap, and sasl authentication via mysql. After the upgrade I am no longer ab

If I now mark the package "hold" does this mean no major upgrade will be performed for this package or do I prevent security updates as well, wit
