I don't know how to use synaptic, but if you download the .deb you can do a 'dpkg -i --force-downgrade <package name>' and it should install the downgraded version. I'm sure that before you do your next upgrade via synaptic you should be able to put the package on 'hold' in some manner to keep it from being upgraded. -- Christopher Nelson -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Generated by Signify v1.14.
