I want to lock updating from the ppa:ricotz/testing repository. I don't want to purge it. I just want to lock the updates from that repository.

How do I do it?

    Hit Alt+F2 and run software-properties-gtk.

    Click on Other Software tab, you'll see that each PPA have two lines here, one for the compiled packages and one for the source, Uncheck both lines to disable a PPA.

  2. I would just comment it out in /etc/apt/sources.list like this...

    # deb http://archive.canonical.com/ubuntu natty partner
# deb-src http://archive.canonical.com/ubuntu natty partner
