I run packaged versions of MythTV on Ubuntu 7.10. I'm currently on
0.20.2 from gutsy-updates, and am thinking of upgrading to 0.21 from
gutsy-backports.
Being the cautious sort, and because I only have the single production
box, I'd like to be able to roll back the upgrade if it doesn't work
out. I know how to backup and restore the database, but I'm unsure about
the packages.
How would I uninstall the new packages from gutsy-backports and
reinstall the old ones from gutsy-updates, either via the command-line
or point-and-click in Synaptic?
Cheers,
John
