Revert a simple package upgrade in Ubuntu
This is a simple tip.
Today I upgrade my Gwibber. I am using the daily build repository. Yes, I know that I can get a unstable release hehe, but it’s interesting.
I used the upgrade command, after the update
sudo apt-get update sudo apt-get upgrade -V
And it proposes to upgrade Gwibber
gwibber (2.0.0~bzr433-0ubuntu2~daily1~jaunty => 2.0.0~bzr438-0ubuntu2~daily1~jaunty)
But the “438″ build didn’t work fine with me, and I intend to downgrade back to “433″.
So, I did the following steps.
1) Search for Gwibber packages at apt cache repository in my machine.
cd /var/cache/apt/archives ls *gwi*
And it returns the list of available packages.
gwibber_0.8-0ubuntu5_all.deb gwibber_0.9.2~bzr263-0ubuntu1~jaunty_all.deb gwibber_2.0.0~bzr433-0ubuntu2~daily1~jaunty_all.deb gwibber_2.0.0~bzr438-0ubuntu2~daily1~jaunty_all.deb
2)
So, I only installed again the previous version of it with “dpkg”
sudo dpkg -i gwibber_2.0.0~bzr433-0ubuntu2~daily1~jaunty_all.deb
It works fine with me
