How to install the old package without downgrading?
I need to install the old package version from the older Fedora release (specifically, ffmpeg-libs-0.10.3-1.fc17.x86_64), as it's a dependency of a package I need. I have the newer version installed (ffmpeg-libs-1.2.4-2.fc19.x86_64). Since the major version number is different both on the packages and on the libs they provide, I believe it should be possible to have both installed at the same time, and, if possible, I wouldn't like to just get rid of the newer version. How can I accomplish this?
So far I have downloaded the older package, but failed to install it:
[septi@line-1-110 Downloads]$ sudo yum localinstall ffmpeg-libs-0.10.3-1.fc17.x86_64.rpm
Loaded plugins: langpacks, refresh-packagekit
Examining ffmpeg-libs-0.10.3-1.fc17.x86_64.rpm: ffmpeg-libs-0.10.3-1.fc17.x86_64
ffmpeg-libs-0.10.3-1.fc17.x86_64.rpm: does not update installed package.
Nothing to do
@mrunge Thanks for the answer. In the end I achieved having them both by installing the older version from source, not the package.
