Yes, of course you can. Just grab the 2.4.21-166 rpm from somewhere and "rpm
-Uvh --oldpackage" it.
Two points though, if it really did break things, you should report it to suse
(or to this list) with more details on the error message, and secondly, I
believe the current version in update is 2.4.21-202, so maybe whatever
problem you have is already fixed?!
