Of course, if you're already in this situation and don't have the
rollbacks available,
you can use the RHN website to download the old version RPM. I'd recommend
uninstalling the newer version if possible with "rpm --erase
package_name" but if it
has dependencies you may need to do:

rpm --upgrade --oldpackage package_name-1.0-1.rpm

Then you need to run "up2date -p" so RHN knows you changed package versions.
That's the only up2date feature that helps at that point. ;)
