I have 50 or so testing packages in line for upgrade. Some of these have grave bugs open. Some have grave bugs I can live with. Some I don't know about. Is there a way of telling apt to upgrade all _except_ a given package? I'm not keen on dealing with packages one by one. Also, am I right in assuming that the #188900 bug is such that I should avoid upgrading binutils? Thanks, -Richard. -- Richard Kimber http://www.psr.keele.ac.uk/
