I have a problem with the fltk package. The Fedora 7 version will not work
with Zynaddsubfx, so I've replaced the Fedora 7 version of fltk with that
from FC5.
Now when I run apt-get update, followed by apt-get dist-upgrade, apt-get wants
to upgrade fltk to the Fedora 7 version again, which I don't want.
I've looked through the man pages for apt-get, but all I can find is the
option --ignore-hold, but can't find any info on how to place a hold on a
specific package.
Any magical incantions I can use to hold back the upgrading of fltk?
Distro: Fedora 7
Apt version: apt-0.5.15lorg3.2-12.fc7
Gratefull as always for any help.
Nigel.
