For these type questions, dpkg -h is probably the most useful thing you can
do. To remove a package, just run dpkg --remove package_name. If you want
to replace it with an older package, dpkg --force-dowgrade package_filename
will do the trick. If it doesn't work just remove the package as described
above and then install the old package using dpkg -i package_filename.
Hoep that helps,
Alan
