Help on 'hold'                                                  Feta 1.4.0
--------------------------------------------------------------------------

Placing a 'hold' on a package means the package will not get upgraded
when you use the 'upgrade' command; you have to explicitly upgrade it
using the 'install' command. Using the 'dist-upgrade' and 'install'
commands will sometimes override holds, so they can completely upgrade
your system, or install the package you want.

Holds are useful if you don't want to upgrade because of a known bug in
a newer version of the package, or if the version you currently have
installed has features the new package won't (for example, if you compiled
them in yourself).

EXAMPLES
--------
To place a hold on the xmms package:
 # feta hold xmms

OTHER REFERENCES
----------------
No underlying tool has a 'hold' command, but how 'hold' works is mentioned
in dpkg(8). Feta uses 'dpkg --set-selections' to set a hold.
