maybe someone should make apt-get print out a big warning saying once
you do a dist-upgrade you can't go back.. everytime ive seen this question
asked(im not a testing/woody user or a sid/unstable user) the answer has
always been no. apparently a new version of apt in unstable may be able
to downgrade, but i dont think it would work unless you upgraded
originally using that version of apt ..
in short looks like u gotta reinstall if u want potato back..unless
u want to grab a list of your installed packages and try to do
a buncha dpkg -i --force-overwrite's but that is probably dangerous.
