Bug Description
There is a problem with the current pidgin-plugin-pack version, so I had to manually build it from sources.
After installing it, the update manager says that there is an update for that package, which I don't want to install.
I open Synaptic, select the package and "package->lock version". It is marked as locked as expected.
The update manager keeps on notificating that there are updates available for that package.
I run "aptitude hold pidgin-plugin-pack" but the update manager keeps on notificating available updates.
I expect the update manager to stop notifying updates for that package.
I suppose it doesn't depend on the package being installed, but I didn't check it.
No related info found in ubuntu forums.
The version I manually installed has the same numbers as the one in the repository (2.2.0-1).
I'm running Ubuntu 8.10, synaptic 0.62.1ubuntu10 and aptitude 0.4.11.3-1ubuntu3.

If you compile yourself, why don't you remove the old package? Then there should be no update notifications?
But yes, if locking isn't working, this is a bug.
