I'm running Ubuntu on a Xen VPS, remotely hosted. It used to be running Breezy, which is obviously no longer available, so I did a dist-upgrade to Dapper. The problem is that, because of the unique setup those guys have, Dapper's version of udev breaks everything. Is there a way I can somehow "blacklist" udev so that running apt-get dist-upgrade will upgrade every package except udev?
Thanks in advance, guys

Highlight the package in Synaptic, then go to "Package" and check "Lock Version".

Unfortunately, this server does not have X installed, let alone Synaptic, so this is not possible for me.Originally Posted by exploder
However, if it can be done through Synaptic, I imagine it is also probably possible through aptitude! I just don't know how.
