More like apt didn't have any interface to set/clear holds. It seems to me like dpkg is the "keeper" of hold state, apt(-mark) and aptitude just change that (which makes sense to me). It would be very confusing if apt/itude and dpkg had different ideas about what package is (not) on hold. Kind regards, Andrei -- http://wiki.debian.org/FAQsFromDebianUser
