Hi all,
I performed an upgrade yesterday to my SID system. I know these are
tough times with the migration to gcc 4.0 and everything, and that I
should have been more careful, but I messed up. I am still not sure
where. Now (after a reboot), when I am in KDE, nothing appears on the
panel menu except the K menu button and the desktop button. In the K
menu, all is gone, or almost.
First of all, how can I find out what version of a package is installed
on my system without going through synaptic or dselect, because
sometimes I don't have access to an X session and the version number
would be too long to be displayed in full in dselect. I am talking
about libs, so I can't do 'name -v' type of thing.
Secondly, is there a history file for aptitude and/or apt-get that
could tell me which packages got upgraded yesterday?
Finally, if it turns out that I need to get back to an old version of
package 'whatsitsname', how can I do it? I tried to search debian.org
for a package in unstable (this time it was xlibs-data), but the only
available version is the one I have. Is there an archive for older
versions of packages?
Thanks,
ib
