nuke cryptsetup patch and problems with apt-get upgrade

[prosoor]

I applied nuke patch to cryptsetup as is explained here http://www.kali.org/how-to/emergency...ion-luks-kali/
I patched and installed cryptsetup-bin and libcryptsetup4.
Now when I run apt-get upgrade or Muon Update Manager it gives me those libraries tu upgrade. Why?
That would probably reset packages to repository no-patch versions?
What should I do to avoid those packages appearing in apt-get upgrade or Muon Update Manager?

Where did you get the packages for cryptsetup-bin and libcryptsetup4? Muon is wanting to upgrade them as their are either newer versions available from Ubuntu, or the ones you installed are non-ubuntu packages, and are named in such a way that they look older to ubuntu, or th.e ones built are named in such a way that they look older to Ubuntu. You can 'pin' these packages to keep them from being updated in Muon. Find your package in Muon, right-click it, and select "lock at current version"


Also, to note in Ubuntu, use dist-upgrade instead of upgrade in the terminal. (Muon does this already)

I got the packages from apt-get source cryptsetup with default software sources.
I patched it with patch and done dpkg-buildpackage then dpkg -i
They are named same as original packages.
It happens nothing when I right-click on a package in muon updater.

Package managers

The Muon package manager (*) and the Synaptic package manager have the option to pin/hold packages.

(*) There are many kind of Muons: Muon package manager, Muon Discovery, Muon Update Manager, ...

Introduction to Holding Packages
Holding a package basically means you're telling the package manager to keep the current version no matter what. This is useful if more recent version of a currently working program breaks after an update.

The following will describe the process of actually holding the package, there are several options to accomplish this:...

Rog132 thank you for that link, hold option solved the issue.

sudo apt-mark hold cryptsetup-bin
sudo apt-mark hold cryptsetup
sudo apt-mark hold libcryptsetup-dev
sudo apt-mark hold libcryptsetup4

Started the Muon Update Manager and packages are not there to update. Super!
