Package: dselect Version: 1.10.10 Severity: wishlist Besides just "install/upgrade" and "hold in present state" I'd love to be able to mark a package as "hold for now" or "skip this version."
This would be helpful for unstable installations where the newly offered version may be dangerously broken, or package clusters (notably galeon / mozilla, gnome / kde) become temporarily self-conflicting; those states can last for annyoingly long periods sometimes. One could just mark the whole combination as "skip this version" and deal with it the next time a package in the cycle is updated. -- System Information: Debian Release: testing/unstable Architecture: powerpc Kernel: Linux bulletproof 2.4.20-ben10-jtv4 #1 Thu May 29 11:25:38 CEST 2003 ppc Locale: LANG=en_IN, LC_CTYPE=en_IN Versions of packages dselect depends on: ii libc6 2.3.1-17 GNU C Library: Shared libraries an ii libgcc1 1:3.3-2 GCC support library ii libncurses5 5.3.20030510-1 Shared libraries for terminal hand ii libstdc++5 1:3.3-2 The GNU Standard C++ Library v3 -- no debconf information
