Is there any way of finding the previous version of a package using http://packages.ubuntu.com/ ?
I worked around the problem as follows: 1) become root (I used a debian chroot, but having a root password set would also work, as would booting into some kind of recovery mode) 2) cd /var/cache/apt/archives 3) wget http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/main/s/sudo/sudo_1.6.8p12-1ubuntu6_i386.deb 4) dpkg -i sudo_1.6.8p12-1ubuntu6_i386.deb Step 2 isn't really necessary, but since that's where apt-get downloads packages to, it's as good a place as any to put the old version of the sudo package. It's quite possible that the file is already there, in which case you can miss out step 3 completely. -- 1.6.8p12-4ubuntu1 update causes parse errors https://launchpad.net/bugs/51246 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
