Hi folks, I thought it would be a good idea to install the sid packages,
but a lot of things are not working properly, so I would like to go back
to stable source packages only. How can I do that?
As other users said there is not reliable way to downgrade your system
from Sid to Stable but if you don't want to reinstall your OS, you can
try to use Testing branch. The testing branch usually has very good quality.
So you can do this:
- replace sid with testing in
/etc/apt/sources.list
or bookworm (if you want to continue using bookworm as a stable). If you
want to continue using testing after release of bookworm - replace sid
with testing
- run "apt update" or whatever package manager you use
- uninstall packages you have problems with
- install needed packages you uninstalled in previous step. In this
step Debian will install packages from testing and you probably won't
have problems.
Good luck!
Kind regards
