yes, that's the failure of the hold. hold should hold.

To make the hold actually work in aptitude, I need to add one more package, the -common, then I believe it may hold, but with aptitude hold, the trick is that for each and every group of packages, one of them will make aptitude hold the rest, but you NEVER KNOW!!!! which one.

hold evolution should hold evolution. How any other behavior could be considered desirable is absolutely beyond me.

I am going to keep using it but will be very careful to keep watch on what is on hold when I use smxi to do my weekly upgrade.
