</I>><i> 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.
</I>
No I don't think, smart and smart-gui can do that.
Furthermore, if you break drakrpm and/or urpmi (using unofficlal
sources or testing) it can run because based on python.
For me it is a good complement to urpmi (whith urpmisync like in
Mandriva)... when it works (I had o lot of problems in Mandriva
2010.1 2010.2 with urpmi synchronisation)
><i> 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?
