Ok, so I'm trying to use aptitude to downgrade, but it only shows one
version (1.0.11-5) available for the libasound2 package. In fact, all
packages only show one version available as far as I can tell... I haven't
found any explanation online as to why there aren't multiple versions
available through aptitude. Could there be something wrong with my
aptitude configuration or my sources (ftp.debian.us.org)? Or does sid only
track one version of each package?
