To quote Stephen Rueger <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>, # Hello! # # I made a silly mistake and did an apt-get upgrade and forgot that my # sources.list was pointing to unstable instead of testing. Then I made # a even more silly mistake and didn't looked at what apt-get was # doing. So now I have an testing/unstable-installation that is really # unstable (e.g. fetchmail stops because of a segmentation fault). # # I tried to find a way to downgrade back to only testing, but the only # way I found would be to remove all packages not needed to install # other packages and then doing a nearly complete reinstall. # apt-get --reinstall doesn't work in this case because I have to # replace packages with older versions of it. # # Can someone give me a hint how I can do this with less work of my own?
I've never had to do it, but if you gave 'apt-get' the "--reinstall" option, after changing sources.list to point to the distribution you want, I think it would downgrade all your packages. Dunno for sure, though. Dave
