Here's what happened when I tried to revert back to the old version of
gnome-control-center:

I downloaded the package

-rw-r--r-- 1 nwayno nwayno   372674 2010-05-19 19:10 gnome-control-
center_2.28.1-0ubuntu1_i386.deb

and tried to install it.  Got an error (see attached screen shot)

then I tried to remove it:

nwa...@phoenix:~$ sudo dpkg --purge gnome-control-center
[sudo] password for nwayno:
dpkg: dependency problems prevent removal of gnome-control-center:
 gnome-panel depends on gnome-control-center (>= 1:2.8.2-3).
dpkg: error processing gnome-control-center (--purge):
 dependency problems - not removing
Errors were encountered while processing:
 gnome-control-center


so yeah I tried this almost 6 weeks ago.

unless there is a way to force remove it I don't know about.....

The remark about using the archive manager to open a .deb file, makes no
sense at all to me.

Basically a deadly embrace situation.
