Why? No, not like that. WHY?!? yum doesn't make depsolve? :) Is there any chances to make me happy? May be some unofficial patches? The depsolver hasn't been changed to understand downgrading packages, yet. We decided it was more useful to release a downgrade that did something, even if the depsolver doesn't really help much, rather than wait for the depsolver to be changed before releasing the feature. Patches are likely to be accepted, if you want to fix any bugs :) Atm. the advise we normally give is to run: yum downgrade program-0.0.1 lib-0.0.1 Another option is to move to 3.2.25+ and then you might be able to use "yum history undo" (assuming you upgraded program and lib at the same time). -- James Antill -- [email protected]
