Thanks. Sadly, zypper only sees the latest version of thunderbird: 52.1.1-1.2.
sudo zypper install --oldpackage MozillaThunderbird-52.1.1-1.1 Loading repository data... Reading installed packages... Package 'MozillaThunderbird-52.1.1-1.1' not found. Resolving package dependencies...
This is feeling really user-hostile. :(
I filed https://bugzilla.opensuse.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1042094 - Always retain version n-1 in repo cache to facilitate package rollbacks

Let me also take the opportunity ask: how do you easily roll back a package version with zypper? I read through the man page and scoured the web but wasn't able to come up with anything that worked.
% zypper se -s pkg
will give you the list of versions that zypper knows about (has a cached version of / can see in your repos). You can then forcefully install (downgrade) pkg to pkg-1.2.3 with:
% zypper in --oldpackage pkg-1.2.3
You should get a warning about a downgrade. I'm not actually sure if this will downgrade libraries (if necessary) but I would hope it does (since zypper would see it as a reinstall with different Requires).
the tools are available for you to retain the packages as you desire, but it is your responsibility to do so. man zypper search for keep-packages you really need to learn about the tools you use. -- (paka)Patrick Shanahan Plainfield, Indiana, USA @ptilopteri http://en.opensuse.org openSUSE Community Member facebook/ptilopteri Registered Linux User #207535 @ http://linuxcounter.net Photos: http://wahoo.no-ip.org/piwigo paka @ IRCnet freenode -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner@opensuse.org
