Since it was closed by five independent votes, I doubt it's an obvious "mistake". As one of the close-voters, here's my (izx's) reasoning:
- The how-do-I-forbid-update part was addressed extensively in the linked original from the same user
- The right thing for the OP to do, IMO, would have been to edit the question to remove the part that was already answered.
- The timeline doesn't show it now, but I believe @jokerdino's comment pointing out the redundancy stayed for more than few hours before the close votes began rolling in. There was enough time to do the above. Additionally, the OP didn't respond to @jokerdino's comment to clarify his question, in which case someone else could have edited it to reflect that.
Are you saying you already upgraded to the latest version but want to stick to the previous version? If yes, you can get the older version's deb and then "hold" it to that version.
The OP can still edit it and flag it to ask a moderator to reopen, or if enough readers with reopen vote privileges agree this was a mistake, they can do so.
