Hi folks, how can I set a package to hold? On Debian Linux you can set this flag in Synaptic or in an apt configuration file. In Fink I saw the state "hold" on some packages, but I haven't fond any documentation on how to set it, only how to ignore this flag and thus unsetting it.
The reason why I'm asking is that often packages don't compile, and fink update-all fails always compiling the same package. I'd like to upgrade all other packages that do not depend on the new version of the broken package and not wait for the solution of this broken package. I'd also like to avoid manually installing all these other packages, especially when I don't know if some depend on the package that doesn't compile.
