Hi apt-team
I love apt. However, putting packages on hold and off hold again seems a tedious
task from the commandline. Using "dpkg --get-selections" and
"dpkg --set-selections" can be a pain. Please could your team consider
implementing something like this:
apt-get [hold|unhold] <package>
or apt-hold [t|f] <package>
Thanks in advance.
D.Radel.
