Package: apt Version: 0.9.7.1 Severity: normal apt-mark hold and apt-mark unhold (as well as aptitude hold) do not work on Architecture: all packages:
# apt-mark hold acpi-support-base acpi-support-base set on hold. # apt-mark showhold libcairo2 However, dpkg --set-selections does work: # printf "acpi-support-base hold\n" | dpkg --set-selections # apt-mark showhold acpi-support-base libcairo2 # apt-mark unhold acpi-support-base Canceled hold on acpi-support-base. # apt-mark showhold acpi-support-base libcairo2 # printf "acpi-support-base install\n" | dpkg --set-selections # apt-mark showhold libcairo2 # printf "acpi-support-base:all hold\n" | dpkg --set-selections # apt-mark showhold acpi-support-base libcairo2 (Tested with dpkg 1.16.4.3.) P.S. Shouldn't #483067 be closed? -- Package-specific info: -- apt-config dump -- APT ""; APT::Architecture "i386"; APT::Build-Essential ""; APT::Build-Essential:: "build-essential"; APT::Install-Recommends "1"; APT::Install-Suggests "0"; APT::NeverAutoRemove ""; APT::NeverAutoRemove:: "^firmware-linux.*"; APT::NeverAutoRemove:: "^linux-firmware$"; APT::NeverAutoRemove:: "^linux-image.*"; APT::NeverAutoRemove:: "^kfreebsd-image.*"; APT::NeverAutoRemove:: "^linux-restricted-modules.*"; APT::NeverAutoRemove:: "^linux-ubuntu-modules-.*"; APT::NeverAutoRemove:: "^gnumach$"; APT::NeverAutoRemove:: "^gnumach-image.*"; APT::Never-MarkAuto-Sections ""; APT::Never-MarkAuto-Sections:: "metapackages"; APT::Never-MarkAuto-Sections:: "restricted/metapackages"; APT::Never-MarkAuto-Sections:: "universe/metapackages"; APT::Never-MarkAuto-Sections:: "multiverse/metapackages"; APT::Never-MarkAuto-Sections:: "oldlibs"; APT::Never-MarkAuto-Sections:: "restricted/oldlibs"; APT::Never-MarkAuto-Sections:: "universe/oldlibs"; APT::Never-MarkAuto-Sections:: "multiverse/oldlibs"; APT::Cache-Limit "65536000"; APT::Architectures ""; APT::Architectures:: "i386"; APT::Architectures:: "amd64"; APT::Compressor ""; APT::Compressor::.
