There is an easier way..
click on on the button that starts out as 'Categories' until it shows
partial. Then set all those packages to 'keep' if you don't want to
upgrade them.

Now click on partial to get back to categories, browse for your package,
and then click it's version to select the one you want.

Bingo.
