Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: synaptic
1. Ubuntu 10.10 Maverick Meerkat
2. Synaptic: 0.63.1ubuntu13; apt: 0.8.0ubuntu3; aptitude: 0.6.3-2ubuntu3
3. When locking a version of a package in Synaptic or holding it with aptitude,
I expect Synaptic, apt-get etc. not to want to upgrade the package.
4. I compiled the Ubuntu 2.6.35-20.29 git kernel with a few config tweaks. Of
course, I didn't want it the be "upgraded" with the stock version in the repos,
so I tried locking the packages in Synaptic and holding them in aptitude. No
dice. Both Synaptic and apt-get want to upgrade the packages. The closest I've
come to success is using the echo <package-name> hold | sudo dpkg
--set-selections trick. Then apt-get shows the packages as being withheld
(probably only until a dist-upgrade, though), but Synaptic still wants to go
ahead with the "upgrade". I distinctly remember locking/holding working before,
so I'm tagging with "regression-potential".
