in answer to Dan Moore https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/cyrus-sasl2/+bug/875440/comments/12 you can put single package in hold for update by synaptic o at command line by using
echo package_name hold | dpkg --set-selections to activate the upgrade again echo package_name install | dpkg --set-selections Maybe is easyer with aptitude so in our case is (ofcourse execute as root or add sudo at begin): aptitude hold libsasl2-dev aptitude hold libsasl2-modules-sql aptitude hold libsasl2-2 aptitude hold libsasl2-modules aptitude hold sasl2-bin Later, when the bug will be fixed (it seem it will take a lot of time since is still unassigned), to put the package again in the upgrade cycle just execute: aptitude unhold libsasl2-dev aptitude unhold libsasl2-modules-sql aptitude unhold libsasl2-2 aptitude unhold libsasl2-modules aptitude unhold sasl2-bin if later on you don't remember what did you put on hold, just type dpkg --get-selections to see only package on old dpkg --get-selections | grep hold -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/875440 Title: Cannot authenticate with saslauthd and mysql To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/cyrus-sasl2/+bug/875440/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
