First, some background. We currently have a Koha server running 17.05. This server has been updated in place since sometime in 2012 or 2013, going back at least to version 3.04. For a variety of reasons, it's time to start over with our Koha install. To that end, I had setup a new Ubuntu 18.04 server and installed Koha 18.11 via the packages. Going forward, I hope to not fall two years behind again, but during the re-implementation phase we did not want to do and updates. Today I ran "apt upgrade" on the Ubuntu server console, and to my surprise watched the new server update koha-common to 19.05. My prior experience is this does **not** normally update the koha-common packages. Instead, I would need to change the sources or do a dist-upgrade. What did I miss here? In the future, how can I update the OS without updating the Koha application? I want to be able to install linux, apache, etc security updates during an academic term, and be able to save the koha application updates for between terms, when have down-time for review and staff training.

Hi Joel, I am not a system administrator, so others might be able to give more information. But I thought this page might be helpful: https://wiki.koha-community.org/wiki/Koha_on_Debian#Set_up_package_sources I think following a codename (version number) will prevent the big updates from happening. If you also don't want to have monthly updates, you might have to do something else. I know it's possible. Hope it helps, Katrin On 13.06.19 22:45, Coehoorn, Joel wrote:

Hi Joel, After upgrading, put koha-common on hold. Before your next upgrade, remove the hold. https://askubuntu.com/questions/18654/how-to-prevent-updating-of-a-specific-... (look for the Apt heading). Best wishes, Bob Birchall Calyx On Fri, 14 Jun 2019 at 16:01, Katrin Fischer <katrin.fischer.83@web.de> wrote:
