I noticed this as uscan wasn't behaving on my alioth archive. Btw, the simple work around is as follows: apt/sources.list deb-src http://snapshot.debian.net/archive pool subversion # apt-get update && apt-get install subversion-tools=1.4.0-5 Reading package lists... Done Building dependency tree... Done The following packages will be DOWNGRADED: subversion-tools 0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 1 downgraded, 0 to remove and 56 not upgraded.
