Re: how to apply these upgrades?

Hello Rajeev,

You can use apt-get for that (i don't use aptitude that much).

'apt-get install mysql-client-5.5 mysql-server-5.5 
mysql-server-core-5.5' will upgrade your mysql packages and leaves java 
only (except it is a dependency of mysql but I doubt that).


Kind regards,

Jasper Aikema

 how to do it?

echo java-package-foo hold | dpkg --set-selections

This will make java-package-foo somewhat invisible to dpkg and apt. Then
when you are ready to upgrade it:

echo java-package-foo install | dpkg --set-selections

Doing this will let you simply use apt-get as usual (I do not know
anything about aptitude, but would be surprised if it ignored holds).

If you want a more permanent solution, you can use pinning to make
sure apt only uses a certain version or source for a package. Google
will help you with how to do apt pinning.
