I have a remote woody server that accidentally got upgraded with sarge packages. I need to downgrade debconf 1.4.30.13 to 1.0.32 to get things back to normal. The problem is that when I try to run downgrade using apt-get install I get an error (see below). I ran a simulated remove of debconf and it tries to remove ssh and several other vital packages.
Is there anyway around this?
