Bug Description

After setting a package I built from source to hold through echo "____ hold" | dpkg --set-selections, Software Updater is listing that package every time I check for updates. The checkbox is not checked and cannot be checked (appropriate behavior), but this shouldn't be displaying at all considering that I have the latest version built from source. The version numbers are exactly the same.

I've attached a screenshot.
