How to downgrade wpa_supplicant on Fedora 28.
Hello,
I am new to Fedora and would like to downgrade package wpa_supplicant from the current version to an older version. Since
this package is a key component for connecting to the internet, so I downloaded my target version and the current stable version, in case I need to reinstall the package:
wpa_supplicant-2.3-3.fc22.src.rpm
wpa_supplicant-2.6-17.fc28.src.rpm
Nevertheless, when I try to downgrade, the answer is the following:
$ sudo dnf downgrade wpa_supplicant-2.3-3.fc22.src.rpm
Última verificação de data de vencimento de metadados: 1:22:47 atrás em seg 22 out 2018 20:36:31-03.
O pacote wpa_supplicant não está instalado, não é possível fazer downgrade.
Nenhuma correspondência para argumento: wpa_supplicant-2.3-3.fc22.src.rpm
Erro: No packages marked for downgrade.
Which means the for dnf the package wpa_supplicant is not installed (Sorry, but language the operational system is assigned as portuguese). Thus, by checking which version of this package is installed we get:
bash-4.4$ sudo dnf list wpa_supplicant
Última verificação de data de vencimento de metadados: 1:29:37 atrás em seg 22 out 2018 20:36:31 -03.
Pacotes instalados
wpa_supplicant.x86_64 1:2.6-17.fc28 @updates
Which means that I can't downgrade because both packages are assigned different names: wpa_supplicant and wpa_supplicant.x86_64. So, isn't there a command to tell dnf something like:
$ sudo dnf downgrade this_package using_this_package
Hope someone can help me! Regards
