Ignoring updates in Software Updater?

When I use software updater and I uncheck boxes for things I don’t need, does it remember that I don’t want them on the next update?

I’m not sure what the answer is to that question. However, a sure-fire method to hold updates to a given package is to issue the following command in a terminal:

sudo apt-mark hold <package-name>

and to release the hold:

sudo apt-mark unhold <package-name>
