Package downgrades are not supported. Usually, they will work, since it is often just replacement of a set of files with different ones (often the same names) with different contents. I think if there were always true, downgrades would be no problem (besides the general tendency for higher versions to have more features and less bugs).
Two exceptions come to mind: Replaces, and maintscripts. Replaces because of missing files in the partially-Replaced package when the Replacing package is removed. maintscripts often don't support downgrades just because downgrading has always been advertised as "not guaranteed to work", so very few maintainers put the additional effort and clutter into their code. Are there any other reasons? Justin -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
