Comment 7 for bug 35836

I am not sure that my request is the same as this one, but before opening another bug repport I'll try here first :

Due to a bug in gusty with my hardware, I have to use install another version of the package "network-manager", but the update manager keeps telling me that an update for network-manager is available.

Of course, I don't want to upgrade to this version (which is bugus with my hardware) so I opened aptitude changed the state of the package to "hold". But, the update notification is still here.

I think that the update-notifier should be aware of the "hold" flag and have an option in the preferences like : "don't bother me with updates of packages with the hold flag".

Until this bug is solved, I have to remove update notifier because having a "you have 1 update" message at each login is quite boring ...
