(I didn't think that could be done.) It can, but it's not supported. IOW, if anything breaks, you get to keep all the pieces. To install removed packages, you need a new repo - Debian Snapshot. It keeps all the old packages. An example config; deb http://snapshot.debian.org/archive/debian/20181007/ testing main contrib non-free The number part is, obviously (I hope), the date you're interested in, using a YYYYMMMDD format. Do a search for Debian snapshot, and you'll be able to read up on the finer points. The official Debian page is at https://snapshot.debian.org/ Note especially the section regarding going back more than a dozen days - you'll have to tweak a setting or two for it to work. Once you've installed the old packages, I suggest you comment out the snapshot. Then, if you need an old package again, you've only got to alter the date part, and away you go. -- Regards _ / ) "The blindingly obvious is / _)rad never immediately apparent" I'm need of your help now Burn - Judgement Centre
