How does one downgrade a package? Using "pkg install" with an explicit version number specified seems to work only if we are upgrading packages. If the version number specified is older than the currently installed one, "pkg install" does nothing at all.
$ pkg list NAME (AUTHORITY) VERSION STATE UFIX example (local) 1.0 installed u--- example-dep 0.6.1 installed ---- $ pkg install -q [EMAIL PROTECTED] $ pkg list NAME (AUTHORITY) VERSION STATE UFIX example (local) 1.1 installed u--- example-dep 0.6.1 installed ---- $ pkg install [EMAIL PROTECTED] $ pkg list NAME (AUTHORITY) VERSION STATE UFIX example (local) 1.1 installed u--- example-dep 0.6.1 installed ---- The only way to do this seems to be by uninstalling the package and reinstalling the older version. This would not be possible in all cases -- for example, if we want to downgrade the "pkg" package itself.
