  Change your sources.list to point to testing rather than unstable and
run 'apt-get install "package"/testing'. This will downgrade the
"package". The easiest way to put a package on hold is to run this at
your shell prompt:

echo "packagename hold" | dpkg --set-selections

This was posted on the debian-user list earlier by:
From: "der.hans" <deb-user@LuftHans.com>
X-Sender: lufthans@spliff.LuftHans.com

  Later you'll be able to apt-get install these packages when they are
fixed and all will be good and grass will be green again. That's what I
hope for anyways.

  Regards,
 
 Alex.

Where can I find those two packages (the older versions), and how do I put it
on hold and unhold it when new packages arrive?

THX in advance!
