Re: Installing MariaDB .deb Files

A simple way to hold the MariaDB server packages from being upgraded by an "apt-get upgrade" (or dist-upgrade) :

# apt-get upgrade
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree       
Reading state information... Done
The following packages will be upgraded:
  mariadb-server-5.5 mariadb-server-core-5.5
2 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 0 not upgraded.
Need to get 25.2 MB of archives.
After this operation, 102 kB of additional disk space will be used.
Do you want to continue [Y/n]? n
# apt-mark hold mariadb-server-core-5.5
mariadb-server-core-5.5 set on hold.
# apt-get upgrade
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree       
Reading state information... Done
The following packages have been kept back:
  mariadb-server-5.5 mariadb-server-core-5.5
0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 2 not upgraded.

Use "apt-mark unhold mariadb-server-core-5.5" to un-hold the packages.

Please note that apt-mark (un)hold only exists since Debian Wheezy, to do so on older version you need to use "echo mariadb-server-core-5.5 hold |dpkg --set-selections"
