Robert >>> I tried locking the package, but to no avail. I notice that when the update is supposedly being installed, the 'details' screen reports Unpacking replacement libpath-class-perl ... Setting up libpath-class-perl (0.15-1) ... and then it stops. Synaptic reports that the update is installed; but the package name stays in the list of items for update; and the update icon on the menu bar does not disappear.
