while not a general solution (but if you see new packages show up before you want to use them) to keep at the current versions try: echo "postgis hold" | dpkg --set-selections echo "postgresql-8.4-postgis hold" | dpkg --set-selections you need to keep an eye out for security updates though. Hamish ps- debian has experimental -> unstable -> testing -> stable. if ubuntugis has developed with that order mixed, perhaps it is time to rethink how the ubuntugis repos are updated. It helps that debian only has that one path, while for ubuntugis we are considering the same for every 6 month ubuntu release, which is an additional degree of freedom to try and support. "incoming" and "tested" might be less confusing wordings than "unstable" and "testing" if debian's long standing definitions of those names are not going to be followed. _______________________________________________ UbuntuGIS mailing list [email protected] http://lists.osgeo.org/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu http://trac.osgeo.org/ubuntugis/wiki
