There are no automated tools; if you want to downgrade, it may be possible, but you're mostly on your own. Fortunately, sid and sarge are currently using the same C library, so it's probably not as hard as sarge->woody. If you're not an expert in how APT works, it'll probably be easier to just reinstall.

But, have a look through the archives, I don't take all that much interest in the continual downgrading questions. -BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE- Version: GnuPG v1.4.1 (MingW32) iD8DBQFC6veXW3d/aAsHRrcRAmUqAKC7CSjFq1BClvYEbVShF+5++xwwkACfVP1l 30U0qVfgTUUjIOIZPZI/BrU= =8QQ+ -END PGP SIGNATURE- -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".

any sleek way to downgrade sid to sarge?
Hi debianers, After upgrading to sid, I reget and thinking how to roll back to good old sarge. I searched related topics and found this guide: http://debianplanet.com/node.php?id=880 (How I Downgraded Testing to Stable) The procedure here is a bit complicated plus it's posted two years ago. There is also guide about pinning but the author says: "downgrading is complex and cumbersome". How do you guys downgrade? Are there sleek tools out there that can handle this job better? regards bxuef -- dhammapada says: One is one's own guardian. What other guardian could one have?
