Description

To allow apt to downgrade to an older version of a package then the one installed, it needs the —force-yes option. One way around is, is to use the aptitude provider instead. However, it would be great if this option can be added only when a specific version is given for a package.

Setting this to higher-priority because I really need to fix this. :–) I’ve started writing the unit tests.

Wow, I hadn’t even seen this update. I have code, but not code I’m ready to release. It got bumped back down in our priority list, but is again near the top. I should have something in the next week or so.
