Done so far so good. i start kpackagekit, and it asks for updating skype. the problem it seems that kpackagekit does not read/respect dpkg's preferences. incidentally though, it DOES respect apt's pinning options. so if you pin a package, use a negative pin priority for it, you achieve a hold-like scenario. for more information, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/PinningHowto ** Changed in: kpackagekit (Ubuntu) Status: New => Confirmed -- Kubuntu updates do not respect "hold" state of packages. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/581886 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
