Public bug reported: I am trying to install an alternative version of openoffice-impress, as described here:
https://ubuntuhandbook.org/index.php/2017/06/downgrade-a-package-in- ubuntu-via-synaptic/ While I can choose 1:7.1.2~rc2-ubuntu2 (hirsute) in the Force version dropdown, there is no effect upon clicking "Force Version". Nothing is updated in the package selection pane and the "Apply" button is not active.
