Pretty weird. I was able to lock a banshee package as soon as they published 1.0 version (June 2008?), but today (in Jaunty) I want to lock wpasupplicant and synaptic cannot do this.
@RandyNose: I found this link: http://www.debian.org/doc/manuals/apt-howto/ch-apt-get.en.html#s-pin which appears to work. I think I successfully locked that package, as it isn't shown in update-manager, but synaptic doesn't mark it as locked. It just says that the newest version is currently installed (which is not true, of course). This is my /etc/apt/preferences file: Package: wpasupplicant Pin: version 0.6.4-2 Pin-Priority: 1001 -- synaptic pinning/locking does not work https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/67146 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
