I've decided I'm unhappy with one of the changes made by the most
recent version of LibreOffice, 24.8, and I want to try going back to
the previous version, 24.2, which is part of the FC40 repository.
But I'm astounded by the result of the command below. (Without
allowerasing the command won't do anything.)
dnf downgrade --allowerasing --enable-repo=fedora40,updates40 \
libreoffice-24.2.2.1-3.fc40.x86_64
...
Transaction Summary:
Installing: 21 packages
Upgrading: 8 packages
Replacing: 1169 packages
Removing: 13 packages
Downgrading: 1161 packages
This is effectively returning to FC40, not just downgrading a single
package. Of course, I didn't follow through.
But somehow DNF thinks the following packages are dependent on
LibreOffice: mplayer, opencv, python3-crypt-r, tesseract-libs, x264,
among others! And it thinks the removal of these packages requires
downgrading others, including mod-perl!
I suppose I can simply download the older LibreOffice packages and then
use rpm to replace them. But there could be some authentic library
dependencies. Is there a better solution?
