Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: synaptic
Distro: Edgy 6.10 (frozen beta)
Synaptic package: 0.57.11ubuntu12
Problem:
Highlighting an installed package and going to Package -> Lock Version
refreshes the package view, but the package is NOT locked.
After an attempt to pin/lock a package, going back to the package shows
that nothing has changed. Icon is the same and the "Lock package"
selection is also the same (no check mark). Looking into
/var/lib/synaptic/preferences confirms this (empty).
Permissions on the preferences file seem correct:
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 0 2006-08-13 08:58 preferences
Tested locking/pinning with these packages:
metacity
some gstreamer0.10 plugin
openoffice.org
adduser
bluefish
sudo dpkg --get-selections | grep hold shows nothing (empty).
/etc/apt/preferences does not exist.
** Affects: synaptic (Ubuntu)
Importance: Undecided
