Sudo apt-mark hold

[Norbert_X]

See my comprehensive analysis on AskUbuntu:

What is more reliable - apt-mark or APT-pin (/etc/apt/preferences.d/pin) for version locking?

The short answer - use apt pinning instead:

So my conclusion is the following: apt-mark is usable only if you install/remove/upgrade software only with apt-get, otherwise you should use pinning (i.e. /etc/apt/preferences.d/), it is more reliable and straightforward.
