The command "sudo apt-mark unhold ${package_name}" is used in Linux systems to remove the "hold" status from a specific package.
Here's a breakdown of the command:
- "sudo" is a command used to execute a command with administrative privileges. It allows the user to run the following command as a superuser or root.
- "apt-mark" is a command-line tool used to manipulate the package selection (hold/unhold packages) in Advanced Packaging Tool (APT) based systems like Ubuntu.
- "unhold" is an option of the "apt-mark" command that is used to remove the hold status from a package.
- "${package_name}" is a placeholder that needs to be replaced with the actual name of the package you want to unhold. For example, if you want to unhold the package "firefox," you would replace "${package_name}" with "firefox."
Overall, the command is used to remove the hold status from a package, allowing it to be upgraded or removed like any other package.
