Yes, (I think so) I followed the wiki and modified mirrorlist to contain: Server=https://archive.archlinux.org/repos/2022/03/15/$repo/os/$arch Originally, I just wanted to downgrade samba, but due to the ICU 7.0 -> 7.1 update a huge number of dependencies were broken, and that's where the roll-back really saved the day. I didn't use the "Historical Archive", from reading the wiki, that wouldn't have been doable in this case. -- David C. Rankin, J.D.,P.E.
