I use dselect, and I think '=' does that hold for me;
I had to use it to get some complaining deb to install...
(latest pronto mailreader I think)
Also, someone mentioned about control-c'ing to cancel an unwanted
update... well, I have another vote for dselect: after you update
your package list, and enter the package selection list (which, granted,
takes some time), the updates auto-selected are in a group at the top of
the list... so you can see what the selections are before doing it.
I really like the command line apt-get for grabbing a known package tho.
