Thread: undo tracking proposed updates

in "software sources" windows under "updates" tab have checked "pre-released updates" , installed updates. no longer want track proposed updates , have unchecked item. security , recommended checked. how downgrade packages has modified when had "pre-released" checked? want on stable "recommended updates". seems have changed looks @ updates did not downgrade packages.

apt never downgrades packages (by itself, must tell so).

wait while. or..

code:

pkg2repo () {         [ -z "$1" ] && return         local pkg="$1"         local policy         local cur         local can         local upgrade         pkg in $@                         policy=$(apt-cache policy $pkg)                 cur=$(echo -e "$policy" |  grep installed | awk '{print $nf}')                 can=$(echo -e "$policy" |  grep candidate | awk '{print $nf}')                 upgrade="$cur"                 [ "$can" == "(none)" ] && can=$cur                 [ "$can" != "$cur" ] && upgrade="u: $cur > $can"                 repos=$(echo -e "$policy" | grep "$can" -a1 | egrep "(http|ftp|smb|cdrom|nfs|file)://" | tail -1 | awk '{print $2" "$3}')                 local msg                 msg="%-35s %-45s %s\n"                 [ -n "$repos" ] && printf "$msg" "$pkg" "$upgrade" "$repos"         done }  repo2pkg () {         local frepos=$@         local repos         pkg in $(dpkg -l | grep '^ii'| awk '{print $2}' )                         repos=$(pkg2repo $pkg)                 if [ -z "$frepos" ]                                         [ -n "$repos" ] && echo -e "$repos"                         continue                 fi                 in $frepos                                         echo -e "$repos" | grep -w "$i"                         [ $? -eq 0 ] && break                 done         done }

code:

repo2pkg backports alpine                              2.00+dfsg-1~hardy1                            http://archive.ubuntu.com hardy-backports/universe apturl                              0.2.6ubuntu1~hardy1                           http://archive.ubuntu.com hardy-backports/main     debhelper                           7.0.13ubuntu1~hardy1                          http://archive.ubuntu.com hardy-backports/main debian-policy                       3.8.0.1~hardy1                                http://archive.ubuntu.com hardy-backports/universe debootstrap                         1.0.20~hardy1                                 http://archive.ubuntu.com hardy-backports/main devscripts                          2.10.39ubuntu2~hardy1                         http://archive.ubuntu.com hardy-backports/main

and can reinstall packages:

code:

for in $(repo2pkg backports | awk '{print $1}') ;     sudo aptitude install $i/hardy done

you need -proposed enabled otherwise functions not know repo has them, obviously.

reinstall packages main hardy repo. upgrade , go.

or wait few days, -proposed ends in -updates if have repo enabled wait.
