   Locking Software from Updates

   This post is dealing specifically with "dosbox" under Tumbleweed.  My   
   earlier version of   
   0.74.3 works far better with (what used to be) Geos/Emsemble than the new   
   version 0.77.x. I tried locking my old version under Yast Software   
   assuming LOCKING could not be overridden except by me.  I do want other   
   Tumbleweed updates, but when I accept them, they also update "dosbox"   
   even as the "Lock symbol" remains on it.  This is my problem.   
      
   (1) Is there a better answer?   
   (2) I thought about changing the name of my 0.74.3 version of "dosbox,"   
   but noticed in the file list given under "Yast Software" that the   
   executable in /bin isn't even listed.  There may be others???  Would this   
   work or does Yast keep track of name changes and it would still be   
   updated?   
   Suggestions?
