The functionality of 'apt-mark hold' was new in Wheezy 7. Squeezy 6 didn't include that functionality. Sort of. In Squeeze and earlier releases you could already use dpkg --get-selections file edit file and s/install/hold/ for the desired package dpkg --set-selections file This had the same effect as apt-mark hold. Arguably, apt-mark provides the nicer interface :-) Right. New in apt-mark. Has existed in dpkg --set-selections and get-selections for a long time. It is slightly easier to use in apt-mark now. A good improvement. If you're interested which packages are currently put on hold, run dpkg --get-selections | grep hold Or now in the new apt-mark run: apt-mark showhold Bob signature.asc Description: Digital signature

Squeezy 6 didn't include that functionality. Squeeze 6 only included controls to mark and unmark the automatically installed flag used by 'apt-get autoremove'. So relatively new for people who have been using Debian for a while. Bob signature.asc Description: Digital signature
