[Bug 744879] Re: apt-get dist-upgrade is overwriting compiled packages

[Indra Ginanjar]

After testing, i'm going to revising my previous comment,
The truth is,
Package - Lock Version on Synaptic is only works for Synaptic only.

To prevent upgrading version by apt-get upgrade and Update Manager,

        echo "squid3 hold" | sudo dpkg --set-selections

After doing that apt-get upgrade, is saying

        The following packages have been kept back:
          squid3

Update Manager is still showing squid3 but it's uncheckable

Well this satisfy me.. \(^ ^)/

Note:
1) To cancel holding version, i'm using 
        echo "squid3 install" | sudo dpkg --set-selections
2) I found really usefull infos here, http://askubuntu.com/questions/18654/how-to-prevent-updating-of-a-specific-package

Title:
  apt-get dist-upgrade is overwriting compiled packages

Status in “apt” package in Ubuntu:
  Invalid

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: apt

  I have compiled Firefox with apt-get source firefox --build. After
  this I installed the created .deb package I made an apt-get dist-
  upgrade. apt said that there is a newer package of firefox but the
  packages has the same name. apt shouldn't overwrite compiled packages
  if both are the same version. I'm using Ubuntu 11.04 dev with apt
  0.8.13ubuntu2.
