How can I reinstall a single package with an older version number?
I'd like to downgrade the "duplicity" package to the previous one: "0.8.16-23-1-x86_64" (got the number from eopkg history).
I tried:
sudo eopkg install --reinstall duplicity:0.8.16-23-1-x86_64
System error. Program terminated.
Repo item duplicity:0.8.16-23-1-x86_64 not found

I think I got the syntax for specifying the version number wrong but could not find information in the documentation

    sebastian-brandt Why do you want to downgrade it? There is a new release duplicity version 0.8.19, maybe the issue you are having is fixed in that version.

    Shannon repo for duplicity is here: https://packages.getsol.us/shannon/d/duplicity/
    There you can download duplicity-0.8.16-23-1-x86_64.eopkg and install it with this command:
    sudo eopkg it duplicity-0.8.16-23-1-x86_64.eopkg

    Or you can install it directly:
    sudo eopkg it https://packages.getsol.us/shannon/d/duplicity/duplicity-0.8.16-23-1-x86_64.eopkg

    But if you run the update command it will be updated to 0.8.18 (the current version in the Solus repo).

        Snap version of duplicity is also to 0.8.19. So you can try this too, until is updated in Solus.

        algent As to why downgrade: current version from repo reports a wrong version number and breaks dejadup. 0.8.16-23-1-x86_64 works fine.
        Your installation instruction worked, thank you!
