I still have this problem when trying to remove (buggy) PPA packages to
replace them from mainstream Karmic repos. Synaptic does not handle the
situation gracefully, or at all. It disobeys without explanation.

Command-line aptitude, however, does work a bit better. Those looking
for a workaround should try:

sudo aptitude install PACKAGE=VERSION

where VERSION is the downgraded version string. aptitude will happily
downgrade all the dependent packages, as well.
