i created two scripts to handle holding and unholding packages:
[EMAIL PROTECTED] eb]$ cat /usr/local/sbin/dhold
#! /bin/sh
PRG=`basename $0`
if [ `id -u` != 0 ] ; then
echo "you're not root, go away."
exit 1
elif [ $# != 1 ] ; then
echo "Usage: $PRG <packagename>"
exit 1
else
echo $1 hold | dpkg --set-selections
fi
[EMAIL PROTECTED] eb]$ cat /usr/local/sbin/dunhold
#! /bin/sh
PRG=`basename $0`
if [ `id -u` != 0 ] ; then
echo "you're not root, go away."
exit 1
elif [ $# != 1 ] ; then
echo "Usage: $PRG <packagename>"
exit 1
else
echo $1 install | dpkg --set-selections
fi
[EMAIL PROTECTED] eb]$
not much error checking so be sure you give it the right package
name.
