RE: Returning system to vanilla Woody
Reading the how-to on apt-get may provide some help. I think you need the
apt package from sid to use the /etc/apt/preferences file described in
Chapter 3 of
http://www.debian.org/doc/manuals/apt-howto/.
I have only read about this, so take it for what it's worth.

Subject: Returning system to vanilla Woody
Is there any way to downgrade packages to those provided by the archives
in /etc/apt/sources.list?
The reason I'm asking is that I recently added Ximian Gnome to my
sources.list and installed it on my Woody system, but it proving very
unreliable. I suspect this may be because I upgraded a number of packages
to those from Sid in order to install Evolution, and the Ximian packages
are intended to upgrade Potato, so expecting this to work was maybe a bit
much... in particular, I'm getting exactly the same crashes (every time I
try to view an email) as I did with the Evolution from Sid.
What I'd like to do is return my system to vanilla Woody then try adding
Ximian Gnome back in...is this possible or would I have to resort to a
clean install?
