Hello all, I am trying to ensure that certain packages that I have apt-get installed are never upgraded (even security). specifically these are libwine wine wine-utils. I have version 20041019 the version recommended by winetools package (http://www.von-thadden.de/Joachim/WineTools/) and I am more than happy with this version. the other versions do not work as well (I have tried). now everytime i need to do an apt-get upgrade I first simulate with a (-s) and see which packages other than the wine* packages have to be upgraded and select those manually to be updated using apt-get. anyway I can tell apt-get upgrade to never upgrade those three packages and leave them untouched? I tried to do something with apt-preferences but got nowhere (still a newbie - just 2 months with debian - although a year with rpm based distros)
thanks ganesh
