          From man apt-mark




          PREVENT CHANGES FOR A PACKAGE



          hold



           hold is used to mark a package as held back, which will prevent the
          package from being automatically installed, upgraded or removed.


          unhold



           unhold is used to cancel a previously set hold on a package to
          allow all actions again.



          So, the pcl v1.8 app you are trying to install probably needs a specific version 3.2.5-4 of the libeigen3-dev. This is called dependency. However, Ubuntu 16.04 probably uses a different version of the same file which probably does not work for pcl.



          The hold tells Ubuntu not to update the libeigen3-dev you have installed specifically for pcl v1.8. After you run the command:



          sudo apt-mark hold libeigen3-dev


          Ubuntu will remember not to update this specific file.



          If you use the unhold option then the special version of libeigen3-dev that works with pcl v1.8 will be replaced by the version that does not work with pcl v.1.8.



          Note, as the installation guide implies, this issue is resolved in newer version pcl v1.8.1 and Ubnutu 17.10, as there is no apt-mark hold command needed for these versions.



          It is possible that the libeigen3-dev (version 3.3.4-4) in the current version of Ubuntu 16.04 also does not suffer from this problem. If so, you may use the apt-mark unhold to let Ubuntu update this file.



          If pcl breaks, then repeat the 4 lines of instructions including the apt-mark hold:



          cd ~/Downloads
          wget http://launchpadlibrarian.net/209530212/libeigen3-dev_3.2.5-4_all.deb
          sudo dpkg -i libeigen3-dev_3.2.5-4_all.deb
          sudo apt-mark hold libeigen3-dev


          This will download the pcl compatible version of libeigen3-dev again and install it.



          Hope this helps
