> From: Andrei POPESCU <andreimpope...@gmail.com> >Why bother when a simple pin will do the job:
Because installing a package is cleaner than modifying some configuration file, and because APT pinning is sometimes fragile and can have interactions with other pinning stanzas and is something IMHO reserved for the local admin to touch. Hum. Should I add "Important: yes" to the package? This may remove the need for setting it on hold, but will cause problems with older APT versions (at least until squeeze, maybe wheezy too) disturbing its depen- dency resolver. (This probably got fixed in the meantime.) bye, //mirabilos -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-devel-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
