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

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.
(perhaps here? https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/postgresql-9.3
)
