this is minor annoyance. but I figured, this might as well be a bug which might need to be fixed bf dapper comes out. I mean, I'm pretty sure I'll be pinning fx 1.5 in Dapper, when fx 2.0 comes out...
here is the problem:
I have fx 1.5.0.2 thus don't need the 1.0.8 update. I pinned it (and its friend, shown below) to 1.0.7 using synaptic's packages>lock version, but when I do apt-get upgrade, it still wants to upgrade firefox. synaptic is just fine, it doesn't prompt me to update fx. here is the output for your viewing pleasure:
Code:
:~$ sudo apt-get -s upgrade

both of these were supposed to be pinned by synaptic...
Here is my cat /var/lib/synaptic/preferences
