RE: How to reverse a package upgrade?
Try this
updatedb
located subversion
It should find the package in question in /var/spool/apt/archives
cd to the directory and use dpkg -i {suversion...} to install

Subject: How to reverse a package upgrade?
Debian / testing
Hi,
Upgraded "suversion" package to the latest in debian/testing, that is,
version:
1.4.0-5 . Once upgrade was completed, it became clear that I should have
stuck
with the old version of subversion package, the old version was version
1.3.2-5, I think.
So, now it's highly desireable to go back to the old version of the package.
I
tried a couple of things (see below) but aptitude says "Unable to find a
version "..." for the package "subversion"
## aptitude install subversion=1.3.2-5+b1 --simulate --show-versions
## aptitude install subversion=1.3.2-5 --simulate --show-versions
Is the old version of the package still available in "testing"? And if not,
is
there a way to rollback to a previous verson of the package? I'm using
aptitude
from the command line.
Thanks
