goto - I think you misunderstood him, based on how he's wording it, he manually rebuilt a .deb and installed it. Now update-notifier keeps wanting to update that package, since it is installed (just a different version, his version).
This is still a problem in Karmic. More specifically, update-notifier, kpackagekit, adept, and basically every package manager other than synaptic do NOT respect Synaptic's "force version" option. As a result, even if people have a package version-locked in Synaptic, they will always have to be careful not to accidentally upgrade the package when they get an update prompt. Also, they will have to live with update notifications for packages they don't want updating until the end of time. Another example of this is the MythTV 0.21 packages in J. Y. Avenard's MythTV repo - http://avenard.org/media/Ubuntu_Repository/Ubuntu_Repository.html - If you install MythTV 0.21 using Synaptic's force version option (for example, to allow compatibility with a Myth 0.21 backend you won't be able to upgrade for a few weeks), all other package managers in the system will continuously prompt you to update to 0.22. -- Synaptic lock version not working https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/313614 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
