Just for the record, I don't think there's a problem with the original or the packaging. During the upgrade the program makes some non-backward compatible changes. It asks and warns you before doing so. I just happened to want to go backward afterwards. The only possible bug would be dpkg -i going part way through an install and then bailing. For all I know, that's feature, since dpkg is probably intended for low level control without training wheels.
