[Bug 581886] [NEW] Kubuntu updates do not respect "hold" state of packages.

[Launchpad Bug Tracker]

You have been subscribed to a public bug:

In some systems, you have to put "on hold" a package X to avoid it is updated. Then, if you execute
    sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade
it tells you that the package X is "on hold" and that is not going to be updated. Correct. But sooner or later appears the automatic graphical updating tool  (I suppose it's Kpackagekit or "kubuntu-notification-helper") and tells you to update the package X! And this keeps happening from time to time, it doesn't learn or work OK.

WHAT IT IS EXPECTED TO HAPPEN
That the automatic graphical updating tool worked like the CLI tool and knew that when a package is "on hold"... must not be updated.

KUBUNTU VERSION:
Kubuntu 10.04

MORE INFORMATION:
    To put a package to hold:
    echo "package_name hold" | sudo dpkg --set-selections

    to 'unhold' it:
    echo "package_name install" | sudo dpkg --set-selecions

    To see which are your packages 'on hold':
    dpkg --get-selections | grep hold
