Ok same instructions as above w/out installing Synaptic. For me, even if I lock the packages in Synaptic, it appears to have no effect on 'apt-get upgrade'.

If Ubuntu ever fixes the issue, or more likely you are forced to update because these packages are unmaintained and eventually it breaks the apt-get dependency chain, undo the hold with these commands... echo compiz install | sudo dpkg --set-selections echo compiz-core install | sudo dpkg --set-selections Sam Spilsbury, thanks for keeping the repository up. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of compiz packagers, which is subscribed to compiz in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/862430 Title: window flicker for a short time after switching workspaces To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/compiz/+bug/862430/+subscriptions _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~compiz Post to : compiz@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~compiz More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
