If you go into YaST, search for the package, highlight it and then select the versions tab below it you will see all of the previous versions of the package. Selecting one of the previous packages and hitting accept will cause it to be downgraded. Mike Ralf Ronneburger wrote:
Hi Susan,
you can always "update" to the old package with
rpm -U --oldpackage <old-package.rpm>

Dear folks,
my internet search skill seems to have abandonned me today. So I turn to you for hints on where to find information.
What I need is a way to ensure I can undo any openSUSE 11.2 security update in case it spoils something.
In the last years now and then security updates rendered parts of our system unusable. Most of those problems stemmed from custom-made applications that relied on certain architecture which had changed between versions and no longer held true after the update. While of course the openSUSE team cannot be held responsible for things they do not even know about, it leaves me very wary of any updates. Thus my question about any mechanisms to make sure I can undo updates.
Thanks in advance for any pointers,
Susan Dittmar
