Thread: Trouble locking package for patched kernel


i'm using patched version of 2.6.38-11 kernel under natty in order deal a bug in vgaswitcheroo. while patched version works, every time software update (apt-get update && apt-get upgrade) asked re-install channel version of kernel packages, since apparently higher version patched version.

have tried locking version of these packages in synaptic, doesn't appear stop apt attempting upgrade them anyways.

far workaround normal upgrade , reinstall patched kernel packages.

there proper way this?
if helps, patched kernel version 2.6.38-11.48~lp727620v201108261554, while channel version 2.6.38-11.48

for whatever reason, locking version in synaptic doesn't lock using apt-get, , vice versa. assume applies kernel well.

i've never understood why continues operate way, or if misunderstand, testing, have both (lock in synaptic, hold in apt command line ops).
