Make downgrade permanent
I find that the new version gedit (3.16.4-1.fc22) is broken (hangs in my system at least). Since this is an essential tool for me, I decided to downgrade to the previous version3.16.1-1.fc22)
$ sudo dnf donwgrade gedit
perfect, no it works. However when I try to update/upgrade the system
$ sudo dnf upgrade
it keeps asking me if I want to upgrade gedit again. How can I make this downgrade permanent (or quasi permanent)? So that I am not asked again about upgrading gedit (together with the rest of the upgrades).
If it is possible, how the "lock" can be lifted later? for example if a newer newer version appears.
I know you need a fix to be able to do your work, so I think @yolo's answer is prefect, but have you considered to file a bug report against gedit? In that way the rest of the users will benefit from the eventual upstream fix.
@skytux thanks. https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.c...
I confirmed it is this bug https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.c... . A workaround is to do this:
$ cd ~/.local/share/ $ mv recently-used.xbel recently-used.xbel.backup
