Re: [LUG] Updates

I run Xubuntu 14.04 so I get the automatic updates which appear
occasionally. It has never occurred to me before, but what if I see
something in the list of files to be updated which I don't want? for
example today I had some which I noticed included an update to Kate
editor. Kate is not installed on my computer, it is a KDE file and I
run Xfce. As editor I use gedit.

Also, a little while ago I ran the updates and suddenly found that
firefox looked weird. I have since sorted that, but my main question
is,  is there a way to remove one of the updates from the list before I
run the update manager? Not a security one of course. And what if I
don't want that update to appear again?

Just wondering,

Neil


Check in your repositories preferences (synaptic settings/repositories) there is an option for recommendations as dependencies. Unset that.
