Downgrading bash version on Etch

Tags:

Hi all,

On my Debian etch system I have bash version 3.1.17(1)-release installed, due to a bug I need to downgrade it to an older version, how can I achieve that with either apt-get or aptitude?

I had already done that in this system but recently upgraded it to 3.1.17(1) accidentally, I can't remember how I downgraded in the first place and now I only have version 3.1.17 available via Aptitude

Many thanks in advance.

Downgrading bash version on

You can 'pin' a version:
man apt_preferences

Of course you need to supply a repository in sources.list which has the version of bash that you want.

Thank you very much, that worked. I picked the sarge repository and was able to get back to bash 2.05
