should just have to substitute package name and version.... -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Gabe Rubin Sent: Sunday, April 03, 2005 10:43 PM To: Discussion about mythtv Subject: Re: [mythtv-users] Death by apt-get On Apr 3, 2005 11:34 PM, Gabe Rubin <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > It apparently fixes the issue.

How do I make sure that apt never tries to upgrade this package again? It is a hassle to upgrade package by package instead of doing apt-get dist-upgrade. Then again, if that is going to break my system, that is the biggest pain. Does this mean that I have to upgrade to fc3 sooner than I was planning? Anyways, hats off to Mark for leading me in the right direction. Sorry for posting this elsewhere and checking google, and not the archives. I thought I completely hosed my system, but hey, what fun would myth be without the occasional moments of panic and then discovery. _______________________________________________ mythtv-users mailing list [email protected] http://mythtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/mythtv-users
