Still broken in Ubuntu 10.10 (Maverick). The partial Jonathon`s workaround (above) still working: $ sudo rm /var/lib/synaptic/preferences $ sudo ln -s /etc/apt/preferences /var/lib/synaptic/preferences
I got an unexpect server error this morning (openerp server freezes, and about ten people stop working) because my colegue administrator updates de server using apt-upgrade after I locked packages in Synaptic... For me this is a bug, not a feature. "Everbody" treat Synaptic as GUI for apt. -- apt-get doesn't use the same pinning as synaptic https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/42178 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
