Hello, ...
It would be really nice if apt-get had an option to put a package (or
list of packages) on hold, currently you have to do something like :
# echo -e '<package>\thold' | dpkg --set-selections
which could well be emulated by a :
# apt-get hold <package>
It is already possible to unhold a package by doing the install step.
Friendly,
Sven Luther

Apt doesn't write the dpkg status database. It never will. This will never
be a part of apt.
