[rhn-users] Downgrading package with RHN/up2date?

[Jesse Espinoza]

Hello,

Go to the RHN website and login; in the 'errata' section search for 'cpp'.
Locate the version you need and download directly from their website.

Once you've download the rpm package run the following command:

rpm --oldpackage cpp*.rpm

That will upgrade to an old version of the package. 

Jesse

Hi,

I have two systems that I need to bring into sync, package wise.


One of them was installed much later than the original, and with different
options used during installation. The various install/remove differences I'm
resolving using the RHN "Package Profile" feature and 'rpm -e'/'up2date -i',
but resolving package version differences seems a bit more problematic.

e.g. my template system has 'cpp' version 3.2.3-34, with the copy system at
version 3.2.3-39, and I need to downgrade the copy to 3.2.3-34.

'up2date -i' can't seem to find a specific (at least older) version of the
package, and I don't seem to be able to find the specific package version on
RHN in the web UI.


So, is there a way to get 'up2date' to install a specific, non-newest,
package
version? Are older package revisions available on RHN anywhere?
