You're welcome.

After I executed `sudo apt-get dist-upgrade`, APT replaced the patched version
by the buggy repo version. Thus, I had to manually reinstall the patched
packages.

In order to prevent it from happening again, I held the 5 packages, which is
done by running this command:

sudo apt-mark hold thunar thunar-dbg thunar-data libthunarx-2-0
libthunarx-2-dev

This will prevent APT from replacing those packages during an `upgrade` or
`dist-upgrade`.

When a new Thunar release becomes available, all the user has to do is to run
this command:

sudo apt-mark unhold thunar thunar-dbg thunar-data libthunarx-2-0
libthunarx-2-dev

...and then run `sudo apt-get upgrade` or `sudo apt-get dist-upgrade` to cause
APT to install the new Thunar release.

I've updated the README.txt file on my OneDrive. Now it explains how to
hold/unhold DEB packages.
