Is it possible to revert to a previous version of a package
Asked by
Paul Graham
After accepting an update, I found that gdb stopped working with emacs. I'm debugging the problem. To see if the update was somehow responsible, I'd like to undo the effect of the update. The update consisted only of updates to libsoup and related stuff. There seems to be no way to just restore the previous version of libsoup. Starting an uninstall on libsoup warns that many other packages will have to be uninstalled. I don't want to uninstall libsoup entirely. I just want to revert to an earlier version. And I'd like to do this automatically instead of trying to figure out all the dependencies.
More generally, is there is a system checkpoint feature like windoze xp has?
