Hi, I would like to know if ansible apt module upgrade works with package pinned. So far my test shows even though a package had been marked as hold ([https://help.ubuntu.com/community/PinningHowto](https://help.ubuntu.com/community/PinningHowto)), apt upgrade will keep upgrading the package. If i execute apt-get upgrade manually, normally it won’t upgrade the packages i set as hold. Tested with upgrade=yes and upgrade=safe, seems like it have the same behaviour. ---

When you say upgrade and ignoring pin settings, are you referring to apt: name=foo state=latest or apt: upgrade=yes ? ---
