Assuming I have built alternative .deb file "postfix_2.3.8-2_i386.deb", and already have postfix 2.3.8 installed from the repos, I know that: dpkg -i postfix_2.3.8-2_i386.deb will install it.

But, if I need to roll back to the original version, how do I do that?

Should be able to do something like: apt-get --reinstall install postfix/stable Probably. Maybe. Perhaps. ;) Otherwise downloading the deb from the archive and installing it should work just fine. Ta, -- Brett Parker
