SOLVED:App is blocked from updating, but App centre keeps trying to update it...
It is Wine-Staging I am trying to hold to a particular version (6.14) and I have run the command to stop it updating, however App Centre keeps adding it to the list of updates (under System) so I cannot stop it updating, which will break a couple of other apps I need to run.
There are now 179 updates, but I cannot do them as I cannot get rid of the Wine-Staging update. I tried running the updates, just to see if it would skip the Wine update and just install the others, but that didn't work and i had to go and downgrade Wine again....rinse and repeat, Wine then starts to appear in the system updates again. How can I stop App Centre including wine in it's scan? |
I'd disable the wine repo temporarily to finish my update.
Then investigate the why it won't update later on. |
Yes that's what I am saying - I HAVE blocked the repo from updating, but EOS keeps re-adding it to the update list

How have you tried to block it from updating?
The easiest way is to comment the external wine repo in /etc/apt/sources.list or if its not listed there, delete (or move away) the file in /etc/apt/sources.list.d then Code:
sudo apt update && sudo apt upgrade |

As I suggested earlier, comment out the wine one, the first line there, put a # before it then update.
Code:
sudo apt edit-sources |
