Apt-Pinning for Hold Back
Hello Everyone.
I recently custom built a PHP4 package from source, so that I could include the pspell libraries. However, now that I have done this, every time I do an apt-get upgrade, it wants to install a new PHP4 package, which does not have the pspell libraries installed. How do I tell apt to ignore a set of packages from being upgraded, so that I can always use the ones I custom built?
Thanks,

Have you unselected php from dselect?

Hmm...
No...I don't really use dselect. I usually use apt-get and sometimes dpkg. What would I do to deselect it from dselect?

Thanks. I was able to go into dselect and hold all the php packages I needed to.
