Re: how to downgrade Postgres in Ubuntu

Hi David, 

This is the most complete solution I’ve got so far. 

With apt-get install, OS says it cannot find the version, as you said.

sh@preview-db-1:~$ sudo apt-get -s install postgresql-9.3=9.3.4-1
[sudo] password for sh:
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree
Reading state information... Done
E: Version '9.3.4-1' for 'postgresql-9.3' was not found

Looked at the archives directory, there’s no postgresql packages, probably get cleaned up…

The last option does work! I found the deb file in launchpad http://launchpadlibrarian.net/170211692/postgresql-9.3_9.3.4-1_amd64.deb  and will download it as a backout plan for the upgrade.

Thanks a lot for the very useful suggestion!

Thanks,
Suya

You can sometimes do "apt-get install postgresql-9.3=9.3.4-1"

But often the OS cannot work out where to get hold of the requested version.

Alternatively you can check in /var/cache/apt/archives.
If the .deb file for the downlevel version is still there (copy it out so it's not cleaned up in future), and you can do "dpkg -i postgres-9.3_9.3.4-1.deb"

Failing that, you can download the downlevel deb file from somewhere.

Thanks JD for the response. My question is more specific on how to reinstall old binary using apt-get install.

Thanks,
