exclude packages from updating: apt vs yum
Hi, On RedHat/Fedora, I can exclude packages from being updated like this: "yum --exclude -y upgrade". Can someone please tell me (or provide a link to it) if this is also possible with apt-get. Reading the apt-get manpage, I didn't find an equality. Thank you. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
