I am receiving an alert about:

Packages not installed from apt repositories:
   linux-image-2.6.18-19-ovz-686

but I wish to ignore this alert because this pakage must be installed.
Hi,

the prefered solution is to set up an apt repository that contains the
package. What also works is to set the package on hold:

echo linux-image-2.6.18-19-ovz-686 hold | dpkg --set-selections

Using apt pinning (man apt_preferences) might also work, but is ugly
to work with.
