Hi Jimmy, and thanks for your reply. I'm under Plasma Desktop, so I don't have synaptic--I use KDE's Discover. Although I use it only for automatic updates. For installing/removing packages, as well as setting a package on hold, I use apt. I'd rather use apt for downgrading as well. dpkg Put a package on hold: echo "<package-name> hold" | sudo dpkg --set-selections Remove the hold: echo "<package-name> install" | sudo dpkg --set-selections Display the status of your packages: dpkg --get-selections Display the status of a single package: dpkg --get-selections | grep "<package-name>" apt Hold a package: sudo apt-mark hold <package-name> Remove the hold: sudo apt-mark unhold <package-name> aptitude Hold a package: sudo aptitude hold <package-name> Remove the hold: sudo aptitude unhold <package-name> thanks to askubuntu Cheers!
