    Keeping your Linux system up-to-date is critical for ensuring security and stability but sometimes, there are instances when you might not want to update certain packages. In this article, we'll explore how to blacklist or hold packages from being updated in various Linux package managers, including APT (used in Debian-based systems), DNF (utilized in Fedora and its derivatives), and Zypper (the command line interface of openSUSE). APT is the package management system used by Debian and its derivatives like Ubuntu. To prevent a package from being updated, you can hold it using the apt-mark command. This is particularly useful if updating that package would cause issues with your system or disrupt a service.
