hold debian package update

#####Hold package update especially those you custom compile/install, because debian lenny insist their packages are the latest -_-

echo "package hold"|dpkg --set-selections
and, to reverse,
echo "package install"|dpkg --set-selections

####hold packages will show up as hi, while normal update package show up as ii(update able)

swordfish@protoss-emperor:~$ dpkg -l|grep fglrx
hi fglrx-amdcccle 8.771-1 Catalyst Control Center for the ATI graphics accelerators
hi fglrx-driver 8.771-1 Video driver for the ATI graphics accelerators
hi fglrx-driver-dev 8.771-1 Video driver for the ATI graphics accelerators (devel files)

###of course i'm holding these fglrx packages, i don't want a borked driver after kernel update again -_-

###now when you do apt-get upgrade

swordfish@protoss-emperor:~$ sudo apt-get upgrade
