** Description changed:

  Binary package hint: update-manager
  
  Given the recent massive update over the last day or two due to amd64
  toolchain updates, which I don't believe I need (model name      : AMD
  Athlon(tm) XP 2500+) it seems that it would be nice to be able to
  deselect a package for update until it's version changes again.
  
  So I open update-manager and see libquicktime0:
- Version 2:0.9.7-1ubuntu2: 
+ Version 2:0.9.7-1ubuntu2:
  
-   * Rebuild for changes in the amd64 toolchain.
-   * Set Ubuntu maintainer address.
+   * Rebuild for changes in the amd64 toolchain.
+   * Set Ubuntu maintainer address.
  
  I would like to be able to de-select this package for upgrade and have
  update-manager remember that state until the version > 2:0.9.7-1ubuntu2.
  That way I don't have to always deselect forty-eleven packages until
  something more significant has been updated/upgraded.
  
  Even better, hide the updates in the list until the version has changed.
+ 
+ WORKAROUND: Execute the following in a terminal:
+ sudo apt-mark hold PACKAGE
