If you look at the header in my original message below, you’ll see it was from 
just over 8 years ago. I’ve moved on a bit since then.

No reply needed.

Bug#430816: aptitude: forbid-version seems to have no effect

2008-02-21 Thread Barrie Stott 
Package: aptitude
Version: 0.4.10-1+b2
Followup-For: Bug #430816

After an automatic upgrade of gpm, gpm failed to work. I reverted to
the previous version using
 dpkg -i {gpm,libgmpg1}_1.19.6-25_i386.deb
The next time an automatic upgrade came along, it wanted to install
the faulty gpm stuff again. Before doing the upgrade, I ran
 aptitude forbid-version {gpm,libgpmg1}=1.20.3~pre3-1
and unticked the {gpm,libgpmg1} packages on the list of packages to
install so that they would not be installed. That was fine but, at
the end of install, a check is performed and it said there were 2
more packages to install. These were the unwanted gpm packages. My
impression was that forbid-version would prevent a package from
being installed yet that is not happening. Every future automatic
upgrade will probably be trying to install gpm and a visual inspection
will be needed to see if it's the faulty one :-( or a corrected one
:-)
