Mark package as Locked to avoid automatic upgrade in Ubuntu
As I discussed in a recent post, I had to downgrade to a previous version of Subversion to make it compatible with Subclipse in EasyEclipse. Everything worked perfectly. However, the day after, Ubuntu proposed me some packages to upgrade. I accepted without thinking. Then, the problem I had with Subclipse got back… Of course! In the system upgrade I just did, Subversion package was upgraded to the latest version. Back to square one!
So, after googling 10 seconds, I found this which suggested to lock some packages to avoid them being upgraded automatically by Ubuntu. Exactly what I needed! In order to do so, go in Synaptics, find the package you want to lock (in my case libsvn1 and subversion), highlight it and then go in Packages > Lock.
Since then, it’s working perfectly now!
