How do I lock a package in the Software Centre?

  • 772

I know that you can lock a package using the command line and synaptic - is there a way to do so using the Software Centre?

package-management

    The Software Center is an application manager, not a package manager, and as such does not provide advanced functionality like version locking. Unfortunately, your question is analogous to asking how to perform differential calculus in a children's math game.

    If you do want this functionality, you should install the Synaptic Package Manager (install) and follow the instructions from this question.
