Downgrading is not supported. Changing the apt-config just means that the apt-files don't reflect the state of your system (as mentioned elsewhere in this thread). It will *not* fix your problem. You can of course uninstall the package and reinstall a previous version directly from its deb. To get that deb, you can use snapshot.debian.org or get it from the testing or stable repos.On Wed, Apr 21, 2010 at 12:18 AM, T o n g <mlist4suntong@yahoo.com> wrote:On Tue, 20 Apr 2010 17:52:33 -0500, Ron Johnson wrote:so anything catastrophic as to trash var/ will best be solved by a complete reinstall.2nd to that. package downgrading would never be "quickly and painlessly". Do a complete system restore, that'd be more quickly and painlessly than downgrading.I am sorry but I don't quite follow. What could go wrong when trying to downgrade a couple of packages (one of which misbehaves following an upgrade)?
