Comment 3 for bug 42178

this is minor annoyance. but I figured, this might as well be a bug which might need to be fixed bf dapper comes out. I mean, I'm pretty sure I'll be pinning fx 1.5 in Dapper, when fx 2.0 comes out...

here is the problem:

I have fx 1.5.0.2 thus don't need the 1.0.8 update. I pinned it (and its friend, shown below) to 1.0.7 using synaptic's packages>lock version, but when I do apt-get upgrade, it still wants to upgrade firefox. synaptic is just fine, it doesn't prompt me to update fx. here is the output for your viewing pleasure:

Code:
:~$ sudo apt-get -s upgrade
Reading package lists...
Done Building dependency tree...
Done
The following packages will be upgraded:
firefox firefox-gnome-support
2 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 0 not upgraded.
Inst firefox-gnome-support [1.0.7-0ubuntu20] (1.0.8-0ubuntu5.10 Ubuntu:5.10/breezy-security) []
Inst firefox [1.0.7-0ubuntu20] (1.0.8-0ubuntu5.10 Ubuntu:5.10/breezy-security)
Conf firefox (1.0.8-0ubuntu5.10 Ubuntu:5.10/breezy-security)
Conf firefox-gnome-support (1.0.8-0ubuntu5.10 Ubuntu:5.10/breezy-security)

both of these were supposed to be pinned by synaptic...

Here is my cat /var/lib/synaptic/preferences
-------------
Package: firefox
Pin: version 1.0.7-0ubuntu20
Pin-Priority: 1001

Package: firefox-gnome-support
Pin: version 1.0.7-0ubuntu20
Pin-Priority: 1001

I don't have a /etc/apt/preferences which is ok

Thanks.
