http://askubuntu.com – Same question as how-to-downgrade-a-package-via-apt-get, except what if it's on a newly deployed server and the archived .deb is not there? For example, https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/precise/amd64/wget tells me the previous version is 1.13.4-1ubuntu2, and I have 1.13.4-2ubuntu installed: $ dpkg -l | grep wget ii wget 1.13.4-2ubuntu1 retrieves files from the web When I try to force the version: vagrant@es2:~$ sudo apt-get install wget=1.13.4-1ubuntu2 Reading package lists...

Hi,

I made a script with 5 lines, each a wget statement:

Code: wget -c http://... wget -c http://... wget -c http://... wget -c http://... wget -c http://... And ran it.

Noticed the same yesterday. After a base install, you have to manually install wget.You could try downloading the wget package on another machine and copy it over.

The dpkg command failed, and after this point my packaging system has been broken.
