I would like to know if there is a specific command to upgrade my whole system except Gnome with sudo apt-get update and sudo apt-get dist-upgrade.

In a previous post I found the following command to exclude one packet from upgrade sudo apt-mark hold [package], but I don't think that this is suitable for my purpose because gdm3 has dependencies, so I think I shouldn't upgrade those too.

Is this statement right or am I wrong?

Please, provide a detailed solution. Thanks you all

    Why do you want to upgrade everything except GNOME? GNOME is a core part of the system, it's a bad idea not to upgrade it, but anyway, upgrades for GNOME don't really come out so much... –  Jun 01 '16 at 11:04
  • I suspect last Gnome update to be the cause of black screen after few minutes from login, so I would like to try updating the system except Gnome and related packages. But if you say that's a bad idea, I'll try to find another solution. – MKay Jun 01 '16 at 11:23
  • I suggest that you start by filing a bug report on this issue on LaunchPad. –  Jun 01 '16 at 11:35
