Title:
  [ubuntu lucid] apt-get does not recognize version locking done in
  synaptic

Status in apt package in Ubuntu:
  Invalid

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: apt

  Using Synaptic I downgraded mythtv-frontend and mythtv-common from
  Lucid's version 0.23 to 0.22 (for compatibility with an older backend
  server). Then I locked the 0.22 versions in Synaptic. As expeceted.
  neither Synapitc nor the update-manager then offer these versions for
  upgrade. Synaptic shows the two packages as pinned; update-manager
  does not show them at all.

  However, apt-get from the command line does not recognize the locking
  status and always does an upgrade when called as apt-get upgrade or
  apt-get dist-upgrade.
