Public bug reported:

There is a problem with the current pidgin-plugin-pack version, so I had to 
manually build it from sources.
After installing it, the update manager says that there is an update for that 
package, which I don't want to install.
I open Synaptic, select the package and "package->lock version". It is marked 
as locked as expected.
The update manager keeps on notificating that there are updates available for 
that package.
I run "aptitude hold pidgin-plugin-pack" but the update manager keeps on 
notificating available updates.
I expect the update manager to stop notifying updates for that package.

I suppose it doesn't depend on the package being installed, but I didn't
check it.

No related info found in ubuntu forums.

The version I manually installed has the same numbers as the one in the
repository (2.2.0-1).

I'm running Ubuntu 8.10, synaptic 0.62.1ubuntu10 and aptitude
0.4.11.3-1ubuntu3.
