Ignore package in update manager
6
I don't want to update certain packages. But this list of packages appears every time I open update manager. Is there an ignore list feature for packages? So I can add or remove packages from ignore list whenever I want?

Then you need to do an apt-pinning, to prevent future updates:
Create a new file in /etc/apt/preferences.d/ (if Ubuntu >= 10.4) named after your program, with following entry:
Package: program
Pin: version 1.2.3*
Pin-Priority: 1000
assuming, you know that your programs version, you want to freeze, is 1.2.3

@user: Thanks. I know that. I just want some shortcut way (as i mentioned before like linux mint update manager) to do that. An update manager which can ignore some packages

What do you mean, by 'shortcut way'? You select the package, which you need to select on mint too, I guess. From there it is I don't have linux mint, so your description 'like in linux mint' isn't helpful for me - you have to say, how it is.

@user: In Linux Mint, when update manager showing the package list, you right click on a package and select "Ignore this package", the package will be in Ignored Package List. Update manager will never show it on update list. If you wish to update that package again, just go to "Ignored List" and remove the package. See, no need to open synaptic, just everything in the update manager.

3 - Highlight the installed package
4 - Click on Package on the top row

Done, now [package name] will no longer be updated.
