How to prevent package updates with apt

I used to put a custom build nginx as a deb package, but it was updated by apt and nginx could not be started, so I will write it as a memorandum.

Suppress updates

Do it as root or run it with sudo.

apt-mark hold <package name>

** Example: **

apt-mark hold nginx

That way, running ```apt upgrade `` `will be ignored.

The following packages have been kept back:
  nginx
0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 1 not upgraded.

Release suppression of updates

With the same privileges as above.

apt-mark unhold <package name>

** Example: **

apt-mark unhold nginx

This will remove the deterrence.

The following packages will be upgraded:
  nginx
1 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 0 not upgraded.
Need to get 851 kB of archives.
After this operation, 30.7 kB disk space will be freed.
Do you want to continue? [Y/n] 

How to check which packages are being suppressed

apt-mark showhold

Type this command to see the packages that are being suppressed.

If nothing is returned, there are no packages being suppressed.
