Is there a correct downgrade > procedure listed anywhere? You might still have the older versions of apt and aptitude in your package cache. Check the output of: ls /var/cache/apt/archives/apt_0.6.46.4-0.1* ls /var/cache/apt/archives/aptitude_0.4.4-4* If you still have the two .deb files then you can install them with: dpkg -i /var/cache/apt/archives/apt_0.6.46.4-0.1* dpkg -i /var/cache/apt/archives/aptitude_0.4.4-4* Another possibility is to add a line for "testing" to your /etc/apt/sources.list, run "apt-get update" and then do apt-get install apt/testing aptitude/testing Officially, downgrades are "not supported", but I think in this case it should work out. -- Regards, | http://users.icfo.es/Florian.Kulzer Florian | -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
