If you want to keep a specific package out of the upgrade list, you'll just have to avoid using "update-all". We don't have "update-all-except"; though a little shell script could do that. Or, there are unofficial binary distributions; where "unofficial" means that the project doesn't control them, and therefore if there's a bad binary all we can do is try to fix whatever is causing the misbuild and tell you to rebuild whatever package is problematic. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ _______________________________________________ Fink-users mailing list [email protected] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/fink-users
