I don't think you understand what I mean. First off I don't see a "prev
button". At the top I see toggles that say Keep, Cur and Exp. Did you
mean
Keep? I don't think so.
For individual lines there is a "New" column and I'm familiar with the
cycling behavior between things like Keep, Uninstall, Reinstall, Skip
and
current and older version numbers. But this is on a by package basis.
What
I'm asking for is a button or way to say "Oh this is 1.7.10. I want
all of
the Cygwin things that were associated with 1.7.9. Toggle all of the
packages back to their versions that were released when 1.7.9 was
released".
Maybe such a beast doesn't exist...
Yup, that's essentially the heart of it.
So I said "Maybe it's this or maybe it's that" and you responded with
essentially "yes". Thanks.
You're still very likely better off at least trying the snapshot so
that
you and the rest of us know that the issue is resolved and moving
forward
is a viable possibility. After that, if you want to try to backup to a
previous version, you can do that with some confidence in the
future. :-)
But I didn't hit this problem. Stated differently, when I ran
ssh-host-config months ago it worked just fine.
Sure. And then things changed.
Actually, you normally only run ssh-host-config once so while things
might have changed normally I would not see nor care about them. It's
because I'm trying to set up a base environment for my client that I've
stumbled into this issue.
I guess I could play around going to a snapshot and seeing if
ssh-host-config works (or perhaps just change the passwd -v to passwd
-V in
the one script) but I'm trying to establish a known set of working
Cygwin
environment right now.
That's fine. I'd recommend either grabbing a new snapshot or installing
the test version of csih. Either is supposed to fix the problem. And
either is better by most measures than trying to back up or make edits
locally.
Actually I believe I am capable of changing a "-v" -> "-V". I've been
known to successfully accomplish such difficult feats before! Even with
backups! ;-)
