Because of Debian bug 386121 (http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=386121) I cannot update to a later version of libstdc++6 than 4.1.1-11 and need to "hold" this package version. In the past I just didn't update at all, but I'd like to update other packages now.
I have put the following in /etc/apt/preferences: Package: libstdc++6 Pin: version 4.1.1-11 Pin-Priority: 1001 But then, when trying to do an update from within aptitude, it still wants to replace this libstdc++6 version with a later one. If I "hold" libstdc++6 in aptitude, I get over 50 broken packages and cannot resolve them manually. What's the way to go if I want to pin libstdc++6 4.1.1-11 and all dependent packages, but being able to update other packages? -- Stefan Bellon -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
