hello, could someone help me figure out the following, please?
suppose i have a working package. i decide to upgrade it, so i download the deb and use 'dpkg -i' to install it. let's say, there are some unsatisfied dependencies that i don't want to resolve (let's assume that it would require some further drastic upgrading). how do i go back to the previously working older version of the package without reinstalling it? from 'man dpkg': "...(the --configure package switch) back up the old configuration files, so that they can be restored if something goes wrong." is there a switch or another deb-* command that would do the trick? or do i need to download the old version and reinstall it? thanks for all/any replies in advance! -- Tomasz
