Done... It seems like the ncurses based interface is buggy. I could successfully set vim-runtime in hold. The bad response comes when quiting aptitude, then the interface hangs and it nevers exit until a Ctrl-C is applied, :(... But it installs, and one can achieve the purposed tasks I believe, :)... Actually I tried aptitude full-upgrade, and the package I set on hold was not tried to be updated, :)... If there's another version you'd like me to try, then please let me know, and I will as soon as I notice the message...
