Anyhow I didn't find any info on > this topic. That's why I asked here. I want to add that I am familiar with apt pinning and forcing an older version. The problem is that older versions disappear from mirrors pretty quickly leaving you with no option to install an older version (apt-cache is imo not a reliable method). I also tried Debian snapshot, but this site provided me only with very old versions (stable?) and nothing from the testing branch. Moreover I'm looking for an officially supported way to install older versions. Regards, Aniruddha -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
