[Slapt-get-user] Mozilla & Gnome problem after --update

[Leon Brokken]

Stefan,

you might have missed the reply to your --downgrade option at 9/11:

You can already get that functionality.  Here's how;

--install accepts a package name with or without a version.  So you can specify the
package-version of X11 you want.  This allows to to downgrade if you want.  Also, you most
likely have a copy of the old package under /var/slapt get unless you ran --clean.


take care,
jason
