How can I clear apt-mark remove list?

In an attempt to unhold a package, I ran sudo apt-mark remove php* instead of sudo apt-mark unhold php* and now my system has marked PHP for uninstall. How can I stop PHP from being removed the next time apt-get update is ran? There doesn't appear to be an apt-mark unremove command, or anything I can find via Google. Is there a way to stop this from running?

Simply hold the packages again, this will remove them from the removal-list:

sudo apt-mark hold php*

Here an example that shows that it works, I just picked the package kmines for this example:

~$ sudo apt-mark hold kmines

kmines set on hold.

~$ apt-mark showhold kmines

kmines

~$ sudo apt-mark remove kmines

Selected kmines for removal.

~$ apt-mark showremove kmines

kmines

~$ sudo apt-mark hold kmines

kmines set on hold.

~$ apt-mark showhold kmines

kmines

~$ apt-mark showremove kmines

~$

As you can see, the package is not listed for removal anymore.
