+Maybe I'm stupid, but rpmdrake does not have any option to downgrade a package. To my knowledge, the only GUI in this world that has such an option (in a menu) is Synaptic, but Synaptic itself ceases to be the default GUI package manager in *buntu 11.11.
+
+And man urpmi does not assist the user into downgrading a package. Frankly, I don't know how to protect a package from being updated, the way I can do it with yum (or the way I can hold a package with dpkg, aptitude or dselect). Of course, I am not that familiar with Mageia (or Mandriva), or rather I treated Mageia (and Mandriva) as "distros where I should use the GUI tools or the default options of the CLI tools and not bother much" -- otherwise, why using mga/mdv and not something else?
