@Michele, this was already fixed in karmic. You can only pin a package with synaptic if you start it with administrative privileges. There is an UI issue in synaptic because you can lock a package as a normal user, but in fact it does nothing and synaptic doesn't display any error.
If you can reproduce this issue with synaptic started with administrative privileges, then please attach the file /var/lib/synaptic/preferences to this report. Thanks. -- pinned packages appear as upgradeable https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/13408 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is a direct subscriber. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
