Well in gui, when in Software management screen, you can click on the
package then select "versions" tab and choose which version you want to
use.
With zypper you can do it too - from man page:
install (in) [options] --capability <capability> ...
Install or update packages or other resolvables.
The resolvables can be selected by their name or by a
capability
they provide.
Capability is: NAME, or "NAME[OP<EDITION>]", where OP is <,
<=,
=, >=, or > and EDITION is VERSION[-RELEASE], for example:
zyp‐
per=0.8.8-2.
The NAME component of a capability is not only a package
name
but any symbol provided by packages: /bin/vi,
libcurl.so.3,
perl(Time::ParseDate). Just remember to quote to protect
the
special characters from the shell, for example:
zypper\>0.8.10
or 'zypper>0.8.10'
If EDITION is not specified, the newest available version
will
be installed. This also means that if the package is
already
installed and newer versions are available, it will get
upgraded
to the newest one.
This is typically obtuse man-page-speak to this simple user (gives me a
headache!) but suggests you can select which version, provided you can
unravel this explanation.
Cheers,
David
