Stellarium is removed when Lite updates is run - justme2 - 06-03-2017
The latest version of Stellarium which will run on my eeePC is 0.11 (MESA version) which I install from a deb file. The version is locked in Synaptic but when I run 'Install updates' Stellarium 0.11 gets removed, including the menu entry. I then have to run the deb installer again. Can I stop this happening?
TIA
Edit: running command apt autoremove wants to remove stellarium and stellarium-data
$ sudo apt autoremove

After this operation, 161 MB disk space will be freed.
Do you want to continue? [Y/n]

Not 100% sure, but think that in addition to locking it in Synaptic you need to put a hold on it with this command:
Code:
sudo apt-mark hold stellariumI believe that will solve problem. Run command, then run updates to make sure it worked and package doesn't get removed.
P.s.
It's a mystery to me why you need to do this at all. Don't know why updates would arbitrarily remove something you installed with a .deb file. Don't think I've run into that before.

Thanks gold_finger, that seems to have solved the problem.
