[Bug 17092] Re: Consistent terminology: "Locked" vs "Pinned"
Still found in synaptic/0.75.13. The menu item is “Package/Lock Version”. Activating this will lock a package to it's current version using APT “pinning” (see apt_preferences(5), although that is really an implementation detail). The status filter, “Pinned”, selects only packages that are pinned in synaptic's private preferences file (that is, those packages which have been “Locked” in the menu). This does not pick up any other packages subject to APT pinning, and this filter should at least be renamed to “Locked” to match the menu item, rather than the underlying mechanism. However, apt and other frontends use the term “hold” for “keep package at current version”. Better is for synaptic to use /var/lib/dpkg/status holds instead of private APT pinning. See bug #42178. Both items should then be changed to say “hold”. ** Changed in: synaptic (Ubuntu) Status: Incomplete => Confirmed -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to the bug report. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/17092 Title: Consistent terminology: "Locked" vs "Pinned" To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/synaptic/+bug/17092/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

[Bug 17092] Re: Consistent terminology: "Locked" vs "Pinned"
Is this still an issue? I do not see a Locked menu item, nor can I find the string Locked as a menuitem in the code. Could anyone please give some more details on where to look for the inconsistent strings? -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is a direct subscriber. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/17092 Title: Consistent terminology: "Locked" vs "Pinned" -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

[Bug 17092] Re: Consistent terminology: "Locked" vs "Pinned"
I think the menu item might be better off using "pinned" as this is how apt-get documentation on the web refers to this. Inconsistency might confuse a newbie? ** Changed in: synaptic (Ubuntu) Status: Unconfirmed => Confirmed -- Consistent terminology: "Locked" vs "Pinned" https://launchpad.net/bugs/17092 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
