For the benifit of non-experts (like myself), some specifics on a way to downgrade:
Add stable to /etc/apt/sources.list (lines marked with a '+'): deb http://debian.lcs.mit.edu/debian testing main contrib non-free deb http://non-us.debian.org/debian-non-US stable/non-US main contrib non-free deb http://security.debian.org testing/updates main contrib non-free + deb http://debian.lcs.mit.edu/debian stable main contrib non-free + deb http://security.debian.org stable/updates main contrib non-free Modify or create /etc/apt/preferences: Explanation: see http://www.argon.org/~roderick/apt-pinning.html Package: * Pin: release o=Debian,a=testing Pin-Priority: 900 Package: * Pin: release o=Debian,a=stable Pin-Priority: 300 Package: * Pin: release o=Debian Pin-Priority: -1 apt-get update apt-get -f install libgnomecanvas2-0=2.8.0-1 libgnomecanvas2-common=2.8.0-1 *note: "=2.8.0-1" means "give me version 2.8.0-1".
