I saw Raimondo's comment as I'm subscribed to all synaptic bugs. I don't think increasing the importance is going to get anyone to fix this issue any quicker if at all. Closing now by marking as a duplicate. Side note: If you don't mind a console application take a look at aptitude for searching, holding or installing/upgrading multiple applications. It's a true front-end to apt unlike synaptic. ** This bug has been marked a duplicate of bug 42178 synaptic: ‘Lock Version’ is broken; use dpkg hold -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1766161 Title: package get updated even though locked in Synaptic To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/synaptic/+bug/1766161/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

Hi Paul, I agree that bug 42178 is the primary bug report this issue. It has the best description, a possible workaround, the most history and most number of users affected. This bug here (1766161) could be closed as a duplicate of 42178. However, 60 minutes ago, Raimondo is advocating that 42178 should be closed as "won't fix." I support whatever choice you make on this, Paul. And perhaps the importance of 42178 should be "medium" as it is "severe impact on a non-core application." Even though someone said it is not supported, I believe Synaptic is still being used by a lot of people. I use Synaptic because I cannot find all the software I need in the Ubuntu Software app. Synaptic is the first software I install when I get a new version of Ubuntu.

Today I've marked bug 1732946 as a duplicate of this one but I'm tempted to mark this as a duplicate of bug 42178 which was filed back in 2006 and has several duplicates. It seems that apt not respecting the locking of files in synaptic and v.v. was an intentional change, see the first few comments of that bug.

Hi Humphrey, Again, sorry for the delay and the initial lack of response to your original report. The bug reports are handled by people from around the globe, the majority of whom are volunteers. Unfortunately, they missed this one and it fell down in the queue. I just started bug triaging a little over a month ago and thought I would start by trying to clear up some of these old bug reports. Now that this bug report is confirmed, hopefully they will action it soon. Though, I must advise that since it will be classified as a low priority ticket, it may take a long time for them to action it, as the programmers themselves are also volunteers. Thank you for your patience. I will keep an eye on this ticket to watch for progress. I apologize again for them not getting back to you, originally.

[Bug 1766161] Re: package get updated even though locked in Synaptic
I can reproduce this so I'll mark the report as affecting me too. 1) Open synaptic and identify one or more packages that are not to be upgraded 2) Mark them with "Lock version" - they get shown as "Pinned" 3) Close synaptic 4) Add PPA that would provide an update to those packages 5) Reload packages in synaptic to verify packages pinned correctly 4) In a terminal run "sudo apt update" and "sudo apt upgrade" - packages are upgraded 5) Open synaptic 6) Packages are still shown as "Pinned" but against the updated version numbers Not the best example I know but it does show that the pinning of packages in synaptic isn't recognised by running apt or apt-get commands in a terminal. I have a feeling that the opposite applies too. Holding packages with apt-mark doesn't stop synaptic from upgrading those packages.

Hello Humphrey, Thank you for submitting this bug and reporting a problem with synaptic. You made this bug report some time ago and Ubuntu has been updated since then. Could you confirm that this is no longer a problem and that we can close the ticket? If it is still a problem, are you still interested in finding a solution to this bug? If you are, could you let us know, and in the current version, run the following (only once): apport-collect 1766161 and upload the updated logs and and any other logs that are relevant for this particular issue.
