i used to use the feature under debian and i think the problem is the following: putting a package on hold prevents it to be upgraded when you do an apt-get upgrade but it will still be upgraded if you do expicitely apt-get install packagename anyway, you really need something in fink instead of dpkg if you want prevent fink from recompiling the package. cheers, kilian _______________________________________________ Fink-devel mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/fink-devel
