Here's what happened when I tried to revert back to the old version of gnome-control-center:
I downloaded the package -rw-r--r-- 1 nwayno nwayno 372674 2010-05-19 19:10 gnome-control- center_2.28.1-0ubuntu1_i386.deb and tried to install it. Got an error (see attached screen shot) then I tried to remove it: nwa...@phoenix:~$ sudo dpkg --purge gnome-control-center [sudo] password for nwayno: dpkg: dependency problems prevent removal of gnome-control-center: gnome-panel depends on gnome-control-center (>= 1:2.8.2-3). dpkg: error processing gnome-control-center (--purge): dependency problems - not removing Errors were encountered while processing: gnome-control-center so yeah I tried this almost 6 weeks ago. unless there is a way to force remove it I don't know about..... The remark about using the archive manager to open a .deb file, makes no sense at all to me. Basically a deadly embrace situation.
