apt 总结

Question:

How can I downgrade a package to an older version via apt-get?

Other tools are also acceptable but apt-get is preferred.

Answer:

If you have the version number, or the target release, apt-get supports choosing a particular version or target release. More details can be found on manual page of apt-get. It can also be accessed from terminal by typing man apt-get

sudo apt-get install <package-name>=<package-version-number> OR

sudo apt-get -t=<target release> install <package-name>

is the command to be run. This can be used to down-grade a package to a specific version.

It has been helpfully pointed out in the comments that

• apt-cache showpkg <package-name> lists all available versions. (h/t Sparhawk)
• apt-mark hold <package-name> "holds" the package at the current version, preventing automatic upgrades. (h/t Luís de Sousa )

  使用这个命令可以将指定的包的版本hold住，这样在更新的时候就会忽略掉这个包。

  apt-mark unhold xxx

  • 1

  将 hold 替换为 unhold 就可以取消对这个包版本的锁定了。
