A package version pin is probably the way to go on this. Here's what I have in /etc/apt/preferences: ======== Package: iceweasel Pin: version 24.* Pin-Priority: 1001 ======== I used something similar with 17.* until I was ready to upgrade (having tested first in a VM to make sure I knew how to fix anything that would break), and I expect to do it again with 31.* when the time comes. I used to use holds ("echo 'NAME hold' | dpkg --set-selections"), but that led to held-packages dependency breakage when dist-upgrading sometimes. I find that package version pinning works much better. - -- The Wanderer Secrecy is the beginning of tyranny.
