Downgrading has always been a problem in Debian. The slow way is simply to change your sources.list to point to lenny instead of sid. As sid packages drift into lenny by the normal development process, your system will gradually become more lenny than sid. Along the way aptitude will probably have a few conniptions. The answer to that is simply to back out of any upgrade that causes trouble (using control-U in interactive more). The problems will usually sort themselves out in a few weeks. -- hendrik -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [email protected]
