[sclug] Downgrading Debian?

[Tim Sutton]

I suppose if things were consistant in debian universe, there would be an:

apt-get downgrade

command. Wont hold my breath on that one though :-( Have you done an apt-get 
upgrade / dist upgrade on the server already? If not perhaps if not you can 
just remove the individual packages from testing and replace them with stable 
ones? Then removing 'testing'  from your sources list and doing an update 
will prevent any new unstable packages coming in.
