After I executed `sudo apt-get dist-upgrade`, APT replaced the patched version by the buggy repo version. Thus, I had to manually reinstall the patched packages. In order to prevent it from happening again, I held the 5 packages, which is done by running this command: sudo apt-mark hold thunar thunar-dbg thunar-data libthunarx-2-0 libthunarx-2-dev This will prevent APT from replacing those packages during an `upgrade` or `dist-upgrade`. When a new Thunar release becomes available, all the user has to do is to run this command: sudo apt-mark unhold thunar thunar-dbg thunar-data libthunarx-2-0 libthunarx-2-dev ...and then run `sudo apt-get upgrade` or `sudo apt-get dist-upgrade` to cause APT to install the new Thunar release. I've updated the README.txt file on my OneDrive. Now it explains how to hold/unhold DEB packages. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug. _______________________________________________ Xfce-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://mail.xfce.org/mailman/listinfo/xfce-bugs
