[..] This is tricky to do because the locking works on the version information. If you have two versions with the same version number it is confusing for libapt (and therefore synaptic) to know what version you mean with "locked". Apt in general is not very good with identical version numbers but different package control information (size, dependencies). My advice is to generally have unique version numbers (by e.g. adding "package_1.0-1localbuild1" etc to the version number). Cheers, Michael -- Linux is not The Answer. Yes is the answer.
