commit 55b85e37757dce1cd4cd7988cbedbea5a28d7302
Author: Stefan Andrei Ionut <2014.stefanandreiionut@gmail.com>
Date:   Thu Oct 8 09:25:24 2026 +0200

    common: set dpkg hold for "Lock Version" too
    
    Also set a real dpkg hold when "Lock Version" is used, not just
    synaptic's own private apt-preferences pin file (Closes: #276655).
    Previously, locking a package's version in Synaptic had no effect
    on apt-get/apt run from the command line, since they never read
    RStateDir()/preferences. Verified with a full dpkg-buildpackage
    build; the new code path produces no compiler warnings beyond
    pre-existing unrelated ones in the same function.
    
    Closes: 276655
