Last week there was an update for vlc, so I'll take that as an example. > # yum downgrade vlc > Setting up Downgrade Process > Resolving Dependencies > --> Running transaction check > ---> Package vlc.i686 0:1.0.5-1.fc12 set to be updated > --> Processing Dependency: vlc-core(x86-32) = 1.0.5-1.fc12 for package: vlc-1.0.5-1.fc12.i686 > ---> Package vlc.i686 0:1.0.5-2.fc12 set to be erased > --> Finished Dependency Resolution > vlc-1.0.5-1.fc12.i686 from rpmfusion-free-updates has depsolving problems > --> Missing Dependency: vlc-core(x86-32) = 1.0.5-1.fc12 is needed by package vlc-1.0.5-1.fc12.i686 (rpmfusion-free-updates) > Error: Missing Dependency: vlc-core(x86-32) = 1.0.5-1.fc12 is needed by package vlc-1.0.5-1.fc12.i686 (rpmfusion-free-updates) > You could try using --skip-broken to work around the problem > You could try running: package-cleanup --problems > package-cleanup --dupes > rpm -Va --nofiles --nodigest However, when I do > # yum downgrade vlc vlc-core > Setting up Downgrade Process > Resolving Dependencies > --> Running transaction check > ---> Package vlc.i686 0:1.0.5-1.fc12 set to be updated <--- the *new* downgraded version > ---> Package vlc.i686 0:1.0.5-2.fc12 set to be erased <--- the version downgraded from > ---> Package vlc-core.i686 0:1.0.5-1.fc12 set to be updated > ---> Package vlc-core.i686 0:1.0.5-2.fc12 set to be erased > --> Finished Dependency Resolution > > Dependencies Resolved > > ================================================================================ > Package Arch Version Repository Size > ================================================================================ > Downgrading: > vlc i686 1.0.5-1.fc12 rpmfusion-free-updates 1.6 M > vlc-core i686 1.0.5-1.fc12 rpmfusion-free-updates 7.0 M > > Transaction Summary > ================================================================================ > Remove 0 Package(s) > Reinstall 0 Package(s) > Downgrade 2 Package(s) > > Total size: 8.6 M > Is this ok [y/N]: At this point I can choose to proceed or abort.
