(- I never pin anything, if I don't want something upgraded then I simply don't upgrade it. This can be done easily in synaptic or thru sudo apt-get install --only-upgrade packagename(s) though both are not without potential pitfalls
I see what you mean about the potential pitfalls. I had 51 updates this morning and used the sudo apt-get install --only-upgrade command to install just 47 of them. That went fine.
I just checked for updates again and it installed gir1.2-gmenu-3.0 gnome-menus gnome-session gnome-session-bin gnome-session-common libaudit-common libaudit1 libgnome-menu-3-0 libplymouth2 libselinux1 libssl1.0.0 openssl plymouth plymouth-label plymouth-theme-ubuntu-logo plymouth-theme-ubuntu-text python3-software-properties rsyslog software-properties-common software-properties-gtk xserver-common xserver-xephyr xserver-xorg-core.
But the recommends were rsyslog-mysql rsyslog-pgsql rsyslog-doc rsyslog-gnutls rsyslog-gssapi rsyslog-relp xfonts-100dpi xfonts-75dpi
And when I attempted to install those here's what I got:
Code:
The following extra packages will be installed:
dbconfig-common libdbd-mysql-perl libdbi-perl libmysqlclient18 libpq5 librelp0 libterm-readkey-perl mysql-client mysql-client-5.5 mysql-client-core-5.5 mysql-common postgresql-client postgresql-client-9.3
postgresql-client-common
Suggested packages:

The following NEW packages will be installed:

Need to get 13.8 MB of archives.
After this operation, 62.3 MB of additional disk space will be used.
Do you want to continue? [Y/n]
I aborted that operation not knowing what the heck I was doing
And what about the libglib files when the good ones come down the pipe?
