Description

It seems that apt package provider doesn’t provide functionality of package version downgrades.

apt-get —force-yes is marked as dangerous in apt-get(8) man pages, but it seems that is the only way to downgrade package.

Patch is included

puppet-provider-package-apt.patch - this patch enables apt provider system package downgrades. (393 Bytes) Brane Gračnar, 05/21/2010 11:29 am
