I want to "downgrade" to chromium-browser 17.0.963.79~r125985-0ubuntu0.10.04.1 Unfortunately it's not in /var/cache/apt/whatever Any one know where I could d/l it & the Depens?

Hi...

A possible way to do this would be to open a terminal and install Synaptic package manager...

sudo apt-get install synaptic

After it installs, open Synaptic and look for "chromium-browser" and highlight it. Then on the upper left hand corner of the window, click on "Package" --->"Force Version..." The window that appears includes a drop down list of previous versions of the selected software that can be reinstalled, if available.

If you are able to find the version you want, the "Package" menu also includes a "Lock Version" option that should allow you to keep the desired version and prevent upgrades.

I don't that will work. All the usual places...

* http://packages.ubuntu.com/search?ke...ll&section=all
* https://launchpad.net/chromium-project
* http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/poo...omium-browser/

...contain only version 18 (plus 5, 6, 10, and 14 in the last one).

I poked around a bit more and finally found this: https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-securi...+build/3279282. It's a 32-bit build.

To install:

1. Download the file chromium-browser_17.0.963.79~r125985-0ubuntu0.10.04.1_i386.deb
2. Download the file chromium-codecs-ffmpeg-extra_17.0.963.79~r125985-0ubuntu0.10.04.1_i386.deb
3. Uninstall your current chromium-browser and chromium-codecs-ffmpeg* packages
4. Install the downloaded files:
   

   sudo dpkg -i chromium-*.deb

5. Place a hold on these packages so that they won't be upgraded:
   

   echo "chromium-browser hold" | sudo dpkg --set-selections
   echo "chromium-codecs-ffmpeg-extra hold" | sudo dpkg --set-selections
