it works fine for the simple-ish cases.
If that works, then gravy. I can't admit to having tried it in the past -
although, I'm not really a yum user, I use packagekit, and indeed pk whines at
me to turn off the legacy software when I run yum ;) Ideally, for me, this
would be something pk can trigger (and maybe give me a way of contributing to
the testing karma at the same time - that would rock).
Even with downgrade, that's a user action. If the user happens to know
about it they'll be ok. I'm more interested in what options a packager
has to fix problems like this.
The packager can issue a new pkg which is the old pkg with a bumped epoch.
then the user will get that in the next update.
this is one of the reasons why epochs exist, ultimately.
