It'd be great to be able to downgrade packages -- I've gone ahead and accepted bug 2610.
The big problem is that with constraints such as those imposed by the "entire" incorporation, the system won't let you downgrade anything, since it's imposing a minimal version on it. Of course, for your own packages, which are not incorporated, it could be made to work more easily, but we need a comprehensive solution for this, and that likely won't be possible until incorporations and constraints are more fully fleshed out, hopefully over the next couple of months. > I tried to uninstall the package to be able to reinstall an older > version, but I was not able to, because of the dependencies.

If you really need to get old bits, you can do it, but the options aren't particularly nice. The best one is probably to fire up a repo, pkgrecv the bits from the package you want, and republish those bits into your repo at a higher version than the one you have installed, and install from there.
