Due to a bug in Digikam SVN, I need to freeze libmarble4 at the
current version, and not update it. How is this done in apt-get? I
found the --no-upgrade option in TFM but I cannot figure out how to
use it. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.


Hi Dotan,

With this command you can block a package, therefore it won't be upgraded.
# echo libmarble4 hold | dpkg —set-selections

If you want to unblock it in the future:
# echo libmarble4 install | dpkg —set-selections

Have a nice day
