I have not tested either of the following. These are just ideas. YMMV. Presumably, you already have the packages that you wish to keep as prev. How about after --packages listing only packages that you are willing to upgrade, i.e., omit those packages that you don't want updated? Does that work for you? I suppose that the above might not work if you are trying to preserve something that is not listed but is pulled in as a dependency. Otherwise, you might consider trying to do it in stages. 1. Do a download with setup. 2. Have a script that looks in the directories of packages that you want to preserve and deletes everything that isn't the desired version. 3. Do a local install with setup.
