Amendment to above instructions (free advice warnings abound :-) ) Using the following:
Package: * Pin: release n=natty Pin-Priority: -500 NOTE: n= instead of a=. a= does not capture updates or security, which caused confusion (and a potential problem). I'm also placing it directly in /etc/apt/preferences rather than in preferences.d, as there is an aptitude bug at https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/aptitude/+bug/508545 (not applied to Lucid LTS, the SERVER distro...) which causes it to not detect anything in preferences.d. That should be all that's needed, though - Lucid stuff doesn't need to be bumped, Natty stuff (by name, not archive) just needs to be suppressed. It could technically be any number below 500 (the Lucid/distro default), but making it negative causes it to not update unless explicitly requested. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/624877 Title: INFO: task dpkg:23317 blocked for more than 120 seconds. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
