Package: update-manager-core
Version: 0.200.4-1
Severity: normal
Hi.
I have recently installed the package xvidcap. First using debian-
multimedia.org (yes, I know, it's not official Debian), then by manually
installing the Debian package provided by xvidcap.sf.net.
Because the version from xvidcap.sf.net is 1.1.7 and the one from debian-
multimedia.org (which is still in my sources list due to other programs) is
1.1.7-0.5, I have locked the manually installed version 1.1.7 in synaptic.
Now, whenever update-manager is started (I use the GNOME GUI) it includes
xvidcap in the list of packages to be updated, not honouring the lock set by
synaptic. With other packages like sane, sane-utils, xsane, xsane-common,
libsane, libsane-extras, libsane-hpaio, etc. locked versions older than the
current version in squeeze is honoured by update-manager.
It is unclear to me why this is different with xvidcap. May be because it is
from a different repository?
After my opinion locks should be honoured regardless of the repository (in
sources.list) the newer version is originally from.
Best regards
Andreas
