SLED10: Install Older Package Version
Hi guys, I would like to install an older version of a package (actually it's the Groupwise client) then the one included on the SLED10 DVD. So I created an add-on source with the older RPM and added the add-on to the control file. Naturally now the autoinstall installs the newest version. I can think of some ways to get the older version installed but I really want to do it the proper way (TM). So I will stay away from trying to delete the newer version from the DVD package database or the like. Now, what is the proper way? ;-)) Thanks in advance, Goetz

for all I know, there is no proper way to do that. The add-on product mechanism does not allow to install older RPMs. It will always install the latest version it can find. You can either remove the new RPM from the installation source (with all the signing stuff that is needed then, because you have changed the installation source) or you can use a script to install the old RPM. -- ciao, Uwe Gansert Uwe Gansert, Server Technologies Team SUSE LINUX Products GmbH, Maxfeldstrasse 5, D-90409 Nuernberg, Germany Business: http://www.suse.de/~ug now playing Agonoize - Sacrilege
Thanks Uwe, at the moment I use an init-script to curl and install the RPM. Changing the SLED 10 tree by removing the package is an option I would like to avoid. Goetz
