Etch and openoffice: how to downgrade
Hi all, I need to downgrade OO from 2.0.4 rc 3-1 to 2.0.3. How can I do this? If you ask why, because oo impress chrashes when you try to add 2 clipart from gallery (I've sent a message to the package mantainers) Regards Mirto -- __ Mirto Silvio Busico ICT Consultant Tel. +39 333 4562651 -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe.

If I'm reading the 'Depends:' for 2.0.3-6 correctly, that should work. YMMV. This also requires you to have the old version in your apt cache. If you don't you should be able to download it from http://snapshot.debian.net. -- Brad -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]

I might download ALL the 2.0.3-6 files. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Agreed. 2.0.4 rc has serious regressions. Took 8 hours to make it accept the top three levels of my outlining and I still can't get fourth level to appear as anything other than 0.0.0.a. Those styles had worked fine since 1.1.n. --Mike Bird -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]

If you don't you should be able to download it from http://snapshot.debian.net. I'm a little confused here. I was not able to download the package from there. I found, searching openoffice these 2 lines deb http://snapshot.debian.net/archive pool openoffice.org deb-src http://snapshot.debian.net/archive pool openoffice.org I added to sources.list and tried dpkg and apt-get but they say that there is no package named openoffice.org-impress_2.0.3-6 Mybe I'm doing something wrong There is any kind of information on how to use snapshot.debian.net? -- Brad Mirto -- __ Mirto Silvio Busico ICT Consultant Tel. +39 333 4562651 -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe.

If you don't you should be able to download it from http://snapshot.debian.net. I'm a little confused here. I was not able to download the package from there. Try commenting out your normal source lines in /etc/apt/sources.list and add: deb http://snapshot.debian.net/archive/2006/08/20/debian unstable main contrib non-free then try apt-get update apt-get install openoffice.org=2.0.3-6 That should downgrade the whole kit for you. It looks like you'll run into dependency problems if you just install the old impress package by itself... Don't forget to: 1) restore your old source lines, and 2) pin openoffice.org at 2.0.3-6 until 2.0.4 is fixed. FYI, I just did a 'package search' for openoffice.org-impress and poked around to find the appropriate date. You can find the individual debs at http://snapshot.debian.net/archive/2006/08/20/debian/pool/main/o/openoffice.org/ If you want to brute-force it you can always download the individual packages and install them using dpkg.
