I'm sure there are more elegant ways to do it but I would do this: first the command: #dpkg -l | grep cups on my system you would see this, the unstable versions. [everything installed would be proceeded by the 'ii' symbols] ii cups1.5.2-5 Common UNIX Printing System(tm) - server ii cups-bsd 1.5.2-5 Common UNIX Printing System(tm) - BSD commands ii cups-client 1.5.2-5 Common UNIX Printing System(tm) - clientprograms(SysV) ii cups-common 1.5.2-5 Common UNIX Printing System(tm) - common files etc. etc... Then the command: #apt-cache show cups Among a lot of information on the versions in the cache supposing you had 'apt-cache' installed and the relevant sources.list, you would see: Version: 1.5.0-13 [testing in AMD64 and i386] Version: 1.5.2-5 [unstable in AMD64 and i386] Version: 1.4.4-7+squeeze1 [stable in AMD64 and i386] From this example if 'I' wanted to downgrade from 'unstable' to 'testing' I would, based on what I saw from the '#dpkg -l | grep cups' command remove i.e. 'purge' in this case all the unstable versions installed. #dpkg -P cups1.5.2-5 cups-bsd1.5.2-5 cups-client1.5.2-5 cups-common1.5.2-5 etc etc..that is to say all the installed unstable version numbers. after that use the command: #dpkg -i cups1.5.0-13 cups-bsd1.5.0-13 etc etc..until you've reinstalled all the testing versions of the unstable versions you just removed. -- CK -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
