I've decided I'm unhappy with one of the changes made by the most
recent version of LibreOffice, 24.8, and I want to try going back to
the previous version, 24.2, which is part of the FC40 repository.
But I'm astounded by the result of the command below. (Without
allowerasing the command won't do anything.)
dnf downgrade --allowerasing --enable-repo=fedora40,updates40 \
libreoffice-24.2.2.1-3.fc40.x86_64
...
Transaction Summary:
Installing: 21 packages
Upgrading: 8 packages
Replacing: 1169 packages
Removing: 13 packages
Downgrading: 1161 packages
This is effectively returning to FC40, not just downgrading a single
package. Of course, I didn't follow through.
But somehow DNF thinks the following packages are dependent on
LibreOffice: mplayer, opencv, python3-crypt-r, tesseract-libs, x264,
among others! And it thinks the removal of these packages requires
downgrading others, including mod-perl!
libreoffice has many dependencies and if you downgrade those to what
that version needs, then you have to also downgrade all the packages
that depend on those dependencies.
I suppose I can simply download the older LibreOffice packages and then
use rpm to replace them. But there could be some authentic library
dependencies. Is there a better solution?
You don't need to setup your own repo files for this.
dnf --releasever=40 install --allowerasing
libreoffice-24.2.2.1-3.fc40.x86_64
But that won't help you any. You can't do this. Here's a big clue when
run without the --allowerasing:
Problem: package libreoffice-pyuno-1:24.2.2.1-3.fc40.x86_64 from fedora

requires python(abi) = 3.13, but none of the providers can be installed
- conflicting requests
- problem with installed package
The first problem is that it requires Python 3.12.
