Comment 24 for bug 67146

Pretty weird. I was able to lock a banshee package as soon as they published 1.0 version (June 2008?), but today (in Jaunty) I want to lock wpasupplicant and synaptic cannot do this.

@RandyNose: I found this link:
http://www.debian.org/doc/manuals/apt-howto/ch-apt-get.en.html#s-pin
which appears to work. I think I successfully locked that package, as it isn't shown in update-manager, but synaptic doesn't mark it as locked. It just says that the newest version is currently installed (which is not true, of course). This is my /etc/apt/preferences file:

Package: wpasupplicant
Pin: version 0.6.4-2
Pin-Priority: 1001
