Bug#195459: dselect: "Skip-this-version" marking
Package: dselect
Version: 1.10.10
Severity: wishlist
Besides just "install/upgrade" and "hold in present state" I'd love to
be able to mark a package as "hold for now" or "skip this version."
This would be helpful for unstable installations where the newly offered
version may be dangerously broken, or package clusters (notably galeon /
mozilla, gnome / kde) become temporarily self-conflicting; those states
can last for annyoingly long periods sometimes. One could just mark the
whole combination as "skip this version" and deal with it the next time
a package in the cycle is updated.
