as a followup to an earlier post of mine, i can see now that the current durep package (0.9-1) works *very* differently from the earlier one, so rather than fight with the new one, i'm happy to use the older version. how exactly does one downgrade a package to a particular version, then make sure it stays there over upgrades? thanks, i've been awake for a day and a half and i'm just too tired to go looking for the answer. sorry.
Being the Point and Click user that I am, I would use Synaptic and add the repos I need to get the package that I want and then update and go to Package, Force Package, in the drop-down box I would choose the package I want and install it, then lock/pin the package.
