Bug#532189: aptitude: 'hold' does not work
On Fri, Sep 18, 2009 at 05:11:23PM +0200, Francesco Potorti` poto...@isti.cnr.it was heard to say: No message tells anything about holding. And in fact, if I look at the package list with dselect, the storebackup package is not held. Does aptitude show storebackup show it being held? No. It does not show it as held even when setting the held status with dselect. OK, it looks like this is a bug in the 0.4 series: it's not displaying the hold status of packages. In 0.5 I get Package: mutt State: installed [held] which is more useful. Does it get upgraded by aptitude safe-upgrade? I do not know. This is a package that I do not want to paly with, as it is important to me. You can run aptitude -s safe-upgrade, even as non-root, and see what it does. Can't you reproduce what I observe? No, hold works as expected, aside from the bug I mentioned above. Held packages are shown as held in the aptitude curses UI and in aptitude search, and they don't get upgraded by upgrade commands.
