Thanks for clarifying! It sounds to me like the solution might be much much simpler than re-installing an earlier version of racket. Here’s what I recommend. 1) Delete all of the “compiled” subdirectories in your development path. 2) run “raco setup”. It seems likely to me that this will solve

I have several versions of racket installed on Ubuntu linux at default linux locations. I think I should uninstall them all. Then after downloading a PPA from the racket web site install the version I want to a single directory. (I would be downloading version: 7.8) Does this sound like a plan

apt get upgrade Since Racket was installed on my system, apt get upgrade goes out and finds the latest version of Racket and installs it. version 8. I was having no problems with Racket. In the future I'll use PPA to install new Racket versions when I want them - and all to a single directory.

Did you install racket using a package manager, perhaps from the racket PPA? (I’m guessing the answer is yes, since this seems like the most likely situation to have caused an unintentional upgrade.) If so, I think you should generally get the right behavior from using that same package

raco pkg remove is definitely not what you want. In general, I know there are languages (ocaml, haskell, rust) that put their package managers “outside” of the currently installed version, so it might make sense that a package manager command could be used to change to an earlier version of
