mintUpdate: freezing a package?

Post by ceti »

How do I freeze a package with MintUpdatel?

Audacity 1.3.3 didn't work for me, so I installed version 1.2.6. Now, everytime I boot, mintUpdate tries to update Audacity to 1.3.3 and this is annoying.

I know how to do it with Synaptic (Packages > Hold version) but can't find the option in MintUpdate.

Cheers

Well, if you do it in synaptic, it should also be applied in mintUpdate. Doesn't that work?

PS: It would make a nice addition in the preferences.. there's something similar planned at the moment, the possibility to define your own levels for the packages you want, so I suppose you could have a level corresponding to things you want to freeze.

Unfortunately not.

By the way.. what's the problem with audacity 1.3.3? Because if there are issues with it I can make it a level 4...

It doesn't recognize neither libmp3lame.so.0.0.0 nor libmp3lame.so.0, so I can't save files as MP3. Tested on Mint and Mandriva, desktop & laptop.
