[Bug 35836] Re: Hold packages
Regarding the latest comments, the issue reported originally is about the possibility to hold a package directly from update-manager, not the fact that update-manager ignores aptitude's holds. This has been reported in bug 75332 . Setting to "triaged/wishlist" and let the dev handle it from there.

I can confirm that this bug affects Intrepid as well. "wajig" fixed the problem, though. -- Hold packages https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/35836 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is a direct subscriber. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

I'm marking this as confirmed since multiple users have commented saying it ignores aptitude's holds. ** Changed in: update-manager (Ubuntu) Status: New => Confirmed -- Hold packages https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/35836 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is a direct subscriber. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 35836] Re: Hold packages
I don't know what aptitude is doing, but if you put your package on hold using dpkg (echo "packagename hold" | sudo dpkg --set-selections), update-manager and apt-get don't suggest it for upgrade. Also, doing only the dpkg --set-selections thing doesn't seem to affect aptitude; if you want to use it, too, you need to do the aptitude specific hold operation in addition to the one with dpkg. This might be more of an aptitude issue. -- Hold packages https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/35836 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is a direct subscriber. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

Any thoughts as to what wajig's doing that makes it work better than aptitude in this regard? -- Hold packages https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/35836 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is a direct subscriber. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

Just to add up. There is a workaround: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=43631 Basically, set the package on hold with wajig: # wajig hold -- Hold packages https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/35836 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is a direct subscriber. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 35836] Re: Hold packages
That's actually a good idea. I'm also having a problem that an "ignore held packages" would solve, like the VMWare player package I have, that keeps trying to reinstall itself (the same version). The package is held at aptitude, but not in update-manager. -- Hold packages https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/35836 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is a direct subscriber. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 35836] Re: Hold packages
I am not sure that my request is the same as this one, but before opening another bug repport I'll try here first : Due to a bug in gusty with my hardware, I have to use install another version of the package "network-manager", but the update manager keeps telling me that an update for network-manager is available. Of course, I don't want to upgrade to this version (which is bugus with my hardware) so I opened aptitude changed the state of the package to "hold". But, the update notification is still here. I think that the update-notifier should be aware of the "hold" flag and have an option in the preferences like : "don't bother me with updates of packages with the hold flag". Until this bug is solved, I have to remove update notifier because having a "you have 1 update" message at each login is quite boring ... -- Hold packages https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/35836 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is a direct subscriber. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

I can understand it is not possible to set the pinning in update- manager, but it would be nice if update-manager would take into account packages wich are pinned by other means. -- Hold packages https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/35836 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is a direct subscriber. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 35836] Re: Hold packages
It is possible to pin package versions, but its not in update-manager (many package functions are not, its a really simple update tool). As far as gui support for this feature goes, synaptic is capable of doing this (Package->Lock Version). -- Hold packages https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/35836 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is a direct subscriber. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
