It protects you from upgrading only if the package can't be found in any other source. Although it is a bit involved, using a "preferences" file in /etc/apt, or a snippet of the name of your choosing in /etc/apt/preferences.d/ is the way of securing a package in place. Unless things have changed for the better, a preferences file cannot include comments. Beware. But you can use a variety of statements, and wildcards. Lookup "apt pinning" for details. I dug out a prefs file from an old machine that had tight requirements. It goes like this: Code: -------------------- # head -12 /etc/apt/preferences Package: squeezecenter Pin: release a=stable Pin-Priority: 1001 Package: phpsysinfo Pin: version 3.0~rc6-1 Pin-Priority: 1000 Package: lm-sensors Pin: version 1:3.0.2* Pin-Priority: 1000 --------------------
