If you need to prevent upgrade in Debian, Ubuntu, and other Debian package based distros add a version hold in apt's preferences by creating a 'pin' on the current version:

  /etc/apt/preferences.d/thunderbird68

  Package: thunderbird
  Pin: version 1:68.*
  Pin-Priority: 1000

How would you later remove the pin?

Just like climbing a tree, the best way down is usually the inverse of the way you got up.

If you added a version pin by adding a file... then remove the version pin by removing the file.
