Hi,

I raised this query before, but not sure if I got it handled correctly.

On a Suse 10.0 system (also true for SLES 9), I would like to protect
some
software xorg-x11 (or kernel) from being updated in order to avoid
conflicts
with the hardware.

I did try to invoke yast2 - software - online update, search for x11,
and from the YOU Patch option, select Protected - Do Not Modify.

I noted however that all the packages on the right panes are grey-out,
so suspect the above selection do not take any effect.

I also selected yast2 - software - software management - Filter - Search
- x11
- selected the package xorg-x11 - right click and set as protected.

But clearly the package has been updated in one of the automatic online
updates,
as the /etc/X11/xorg.conf has been reset, and the display was broken as
a result.

Can someone give me a definitive way to ensure certain packages can be
excluded
from automatic updates?

Thanks a lot.

Peter
