I was hit by the same bug in Debian testing and was able to downgrade those packages using snaphot.debian.org. Here is what I did for the reference: Created /etc/apt/preferences.d/snapshots like this: Package: * Pin: origin "snapshot.debian.org" Pin-Priority: 1001 Then created /etc/apt/sources.list.d/snapshots.list like this: deb http://snapshot.debian.org/archive/debian/20150817T213310Z/ testing main contrib non-free deb-src http://snapshot.debian.org/archive/debian/20150817T213310Z/ testing main contrib non-free And then run: sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade and it downgraded those packages to the working set. Don't forget to comment out or remove that preference and apt source after you downgrade the packages. Regards, Hillel Lubman.
