# Package Hold

## Version

* Linux Control Center = 2.10.X or higher

## Requirements

* Hosts must be previously configured in the LCC database

## Overview

* This guide provides information and step-by-step instructions to configure **Package Hold** in the Linux Control Center.

## Objective

* Mark packages with the **"Hold"** flag to ensure they remain at their current version.

{% hint style="info" %}
If there are packages marked as *Hold* on the host before importing it into LCC, it will be necessary to mark them again as "Hold" in the LCC console after import.

The *Hold* configuration follows the relationship of **Host X Package**, preventing the package from being modified regardless of which LCC package management action is performed.
{% endhint %}

## Package Hold on Hosts

1. To add packages to the Hold list of a host, go to the **Hosts** screen.

5. Done! From now on, any package management action performed on this host will respect the packages configured as **"Hold"**, meaning those packages will not be modified.

## Package Hold on Host Groups

1. To apply the Hold configuration to a host group, go to the **Host Groups** screen.

6. Done! From now on, any package management action performed on this host group will respect the packages configured as **"Hold"**, meaning those packages will not be modified.

* This setting prevents the package from being modified even if the command is executed directly on the terminal of the hosts managed by LCC.
