I can reproduce this so I'll mark the report as affecting me too.
1) Open synaptic and identify one or more packages that are not to be upgraded
2) Mark them with "Lock version" - they get shown as "Pinned"
3) Close synaptic
4) Add PPA that would provide an update to those packages
5) Reload packages in synaptic to verify packages pinned correctly
4) In a terminal run "sudo apt update" and "sudo apt upgrade" - packages are
upgraded
5) Open synaptic
6) Packages are still shown as "Pinned" but against the updated version numbers
Not the best example I know but it does show that the pinning of
packages in synaptic isn't recognised by running apt or apt-get commands
in a terminal. I have a feeling that the opposite applies too. Holding
packages with apt-mark doesn't stop synaptic from upgrading those
packages.
This was tested with synaptic 0.84.3ubuntu1 in Ubuntu 18.10 (dev)
** Changed in: synaptic (Ubuntu)
Status: Incomplete => Confirmed
