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 Nate On 05/31/2017 07:22 PM, Aleksa Sarai wrote:
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).
