  • 772

I have firefox, thunderbird, thunderbird-locale-en, thunderbird-locale-en-us, xul-ext-calendar-timezones, xul-ext-gdata-provider and xul-ext-lightning pinned in Synaptic.

When I run apt-get upgrade. I get the following

The following packages will be upgraded:
  boot-repair boot-sav darktable firefox libvlc5 libvlccore5 thunderbird thunderbird-locale-en
  thunderbird-locale-en-us vlc vlc-data vlc-nox vlc-plugin-notify vlc-plugin-pulse
  xul-ext-calendar-timezones xul-ext-gdata-provider xul-ext-lightning

After this operation, 606 kB of additional disk space will be used.

Are these packages really going to be upgraded?

    Yes they are going be upgraded.

    You have to hold them with dpkg: 

    echo <package> hold | dpkg --set-selections
