Thanks for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu

Title:
  Command: echo <package_name> hold is not working

Status in “samba” package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  Hi there,

  I'm trying to lock version in the samba package to be impossible to
  update the package with the command: echo samba hold | dpkg --set-
  selections , but when i make apt-get install samba the package start
  to install.

  I want to prevent that someone make the mistake to update the package with the apt-get command using the command echo <package> hold.
  Isn't suppose the echo <package> hold prevent/block the apt-get install ?

  Thanks is advanced.

  Susana Pereira
