I've made a bit of a booboo recently. I apt-get installed a recent,
unstable version of mysql and it pulled in a few other packages (I can't
for the life of me remember what they were).
The problem is, licq seems to be broken. I'm running potato, and
whatever version of licq is stable at present. When I try to run licq
now, I get a load of messages complaining about the IniFile and too many
open files:
[WRN] IniFile: Warning, failed to find key.
File= /home/steve/.licq/owner.uin
Section = [user]
Key = RCG
...etc
There's a similar bug been reported (59540) but I can't find any mention
of it on SourceForge's site.
Anyway, what I want to know is, can I force potato to downgrade to the
previous version of whatever it was that caused the problem by using
apt-get upgrade somehow? I only have potato and helixcode in my
sources.list again, but upgrade and dist-upgrade report nothing to do :(
Someone point me in the right direction please, I couldn't face a
reinstall now.
TIA,
Steve.
I am not sure you can downgrade anything using apt (but they are probably
working on it :-). Other than downloading manually and using dpkg I don't
know what to tell you. Just curious as to which version of licq you are
running? 1.0-1 was just recently packaged, so you might want to have a crack
at that one first.

Once you've had APT you'll never go back!
