Bug#992761: apt : needs a "rollback" feature
Package: apt
Version: 2.2.4
Severity: wishlist
Tags: upstream
After upgrading to a new version of KDE with a small bug, I would have loked to
return back to previous version. Howeever the upgrade was ~ 400 pacakges and
that makes it complicated, getting all packages in the logs. So I thought of
the 1 feature I miss from yum in apt : the possibility, after an upgrade to
rollback to the previous versions of package list That would be a good feature
for apt
