Bash-apt-hold

Basic examples of both kernel pinning as well as how to hold a package at a specific release

• Do not allow kernel updates

for i in $(dpkg -l "*$(uname -r)*" | grep image | awk '{print $2}'); do echo $i hold | dpkg --set-selections; done

• pin a package to the installed version

echo "package name" hold | dpkg --set-selections
