No. You don't decativate them, you pin them to a lower priority than 500. 500 ist the default priority for packages available from some repository. > This is the to-be-wrongly-updated package: > > $ apt-cache policy hplip-ppds > hplip-ppds: >Installed: 0.9.3-3 >Candidate: 0.9.7-3bpo1 >Version Table: > 0.9.7-3bpo1 0 > 200 http://www.backports.org sarge-backports/main Packages ^^^ > *** 0.9.3-3 0 > 100 /var/lib/dpkg/status ^^^ > > It will be automatically updated from sarge to backport. > Why? It is upgraded because the installed version has a lower priority (100<200). It has a lower priority because that version is not available in any archive. Probably because that version is outdated.
