Providing an own downgrade option as proposed in Enh/Bug 506701 will better fulfill the needs described here as it is anyway possible to downgrade via 'zypper in' by specifying the version (f.i. zypper in libdrm-2.4.1-1.13).

The needs which led Jon to filing this report, yes, but the report itself is about 'zypper in --force ...' not working properly (at least i took it that way). So i'm keeping this open until that is resolved. For the downgrade functionality let's use bug 506701.

In general 'zypper in' should still be for installing packages as it was not meant as a downgrade utility.

Why not? It's 'zypper install what-i-tell-you'. If that what-i-tell-you means in fact downgrade, so be it. (In reply to comment #8)

What is the status of this issue?

Regarding the --force option, some improvements have been already done in zypper 1.4.x which is now in openSUSE 11.3. I still need to summarize what works and what still needs fixing. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
