apt-get hold version

Posted on Edited on In Disqus:
在ubuntu上进行update的时候，有的时候会不想升级某些包，这时可以用dpkg来hold住包，不让它升级。

If you want some specific package not to be processed（keep the current version with the current status whatever that is）, you can hold it.

hold

1
echo "package_name hold" | dpkg --set-selections

unhold

1
echo "package_name install" | dpkg --set-selecions
