In openSUSE, adding lock is easy: zypper al packagename So is removing lock: zypper rl packagename ATM, I'm trying to do equivalent in Buster. The man page for apt_preferences is clear as mud about any (pinning) example that seems equivalent, or even what name(s) of file(s) are supposed to be to create pins. Google so far has been no help. Holding is either being ignored, or holds are being silently unheld. How do I keep unwanted packages from getting installed? apt purge xserver-xorg-video-radeon Attempting to do so wants to install xserver-xorg-video-amdgpu xserver-xorg-video-nouveau xserver-xorg-video-fbdev xserver-xorg-video-vesa xserver-xorg-video-vmware The only driver I want used is the modesetting driver built into the server. Anything else for this installation I would consider broken. -- "Wisdom is supreme; therefore get wisdom. Whatever else you get, get wisdom." Proverbs 4:7 (New Living Translation) Team OS/2 ** Reg.
