So on my Debian system I used "aptitude hold linux-image-2.6-686" to<br>keep my kernel from accidentally getting upgraded when I didn't plan on<br>rebooting. Now I want to upgrade it, but I still get the message that<br>
the package is kept back, even after executing "aptitude unhold<br>linux-image-2.6-686". Can anyone explain to me what I'm doing wrong?<br></blockquote></div><br>That should work. When you execute the unhold, does it display that the package is no longer held?<br>
<br>You can also try 'aptitude install linux-image-2.6-686', which will upgrade the kernel but retain the hold on the package. Personally, I just don't install a moving target if I don't want my kernels upgraded automatically (such as a server).<br>
