Hi,
As described in the title. I need to prevent a certain package (libportaudio2) from beeing ugraded.
I manually installed an older version of package via dpkg -i xxx
I started the synaptic gui, selected the package and choose "lock" (maybe transl. might be different because I use German version.
After that I opened a console and made an upgdate (apt-get update ) and after that I wanted to install something via (apt-get install blah). libportaudio2 was in the list of packages to update! Also every apt-get upgrade brings me the libportaudio2 to the candidates for upgrades.
Result is that I'm not able to run an upgrade via sudo apt-get without loosing my old version.
After that I tryed to lock the package via aptitude with hold option. But that doesn't work either.
What is wrong?
Benjamin
