I prefer to install my own version of Firefox. How can I tell apt to never attempt to upgrade it, even if i type "apt-get update ; apt-get upgrade" later?
Edit: Okay, so dpkg -l firefox
prints this:
ii firefox 3.0.3+nobinonly-0ubuntu2 meta package for the popular mozilla web browser
So I added this to my prefs:
Package: firefox
Pin: version 3.*
Pin-Priority: 1000
But apt-get upgrade still prints:
The following packages have been kept back:
(nothing related to firefox)
The following packages will be upgraded:
(blah blah blah)
firefox firefox-3.0 firefox-3.0-branding firefox-3.0-gnome-support
firefox-gnome-support
(blah blah blah)
I also tried making the package "*firefox*
", but that didn't work either.
sudo apt-mark hold firefox*
works for me (it holds the package at the current installed version)
