General Support - Apt pinning a specific app shame - 11.06.2006, 22:57 Uhr Titel: Apt pinning a specific app
I followed a guide on ubuntu forums a while ago to install amsn with antialiased fonts and other goodies.
A while after I did a dist-upgrade whch installed a newer version of amsn which went back to the crappy, blocky look so I re-did what I did before and pinned amsn in synaptic to stop it being upgraded.
Now this works fine when upgrading with synaptic but if I do a dist-upgrade via the command line it wants to upgrade amsn still.
I've tried adding it to /etc/apt/preferences but it still wants to upgrade.
Here is the preferences file -
Code:
Package: amsn*
Pin: version 0.95-1
Pin-Priority: 1001
<EDIT>
Apologies, I've sorted it out. There are theme and plugin packages with the same version which is why I put the * after amsn.
After removing the * amsn is now being kept back when doing dist-upgrade.

Hi shame,
just thought of the asterix as well, so I just want to thank you for posting the solution.
