$ apt-cache policy udisks
udisks:
  Installed: 1.0.1-1build1
  Candidate: 1.0.1-1ubuntu1
  Version table:
     1.0.1-1ubuntu1 0
        500 http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ lucid-updates/main Packages
 *** 1.0.1-1build1 0
        500 http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ lucid/main Packages
        100 /var/lib/dpkg/status

Notice that I have 1.0.1-1build1 installed, but the candidate is
1.0.1-1ubuntu1. 1.0.1-1ubuntu1 breaks mounting floppys, so I've
pinned/held the package to 1.0.1-1build1.
