I kept hitting this same issue every time I updated packages in my Ubuntu at work. We have a certain build system that for some reason requires libtool version 2.2.6 rather than 2.4.2 that comes with Ubuntu. With the newer version, the build fails.
So I kept fixing this with
apt-cache showpkg libtool
sudo apt-get install libtool=2.2.6b-2ubuntu1
Finally I found a solution that should prevent Ubuntu from upgrading the version:
sudo echo "libtool hold" |sudo dpkg --set-selections
The same should work for any package.
