Sorry, I can't reproduce this, here on Debian 10:

,----
| root@server:~ # apt-mark showhold
| root@server:~ # apt-mark hold bash dash
| bash set on hold.
| dash set on hold.
| root@server:~ # apt-mark showhold
| bash
| dash
| root@server:~ # apt-mark hold xterm
| xterm set on hold.
| root@server:~ # apt-mark showhold
| bash
| dash
| xterm
`----

But:

,----
| root@server:~ # apt-mark showhold xterm
| xterm
| root@server:~ # apt-mark showhold gzip
| root@server:~ # 
`----

Please show the exact commands and their exact output.

Grüße,
Sven.
