How to install specific package version in DNF. One of my installed package installed the new version, but this new has some issue, then I want to rollback to the old version, but the last old version of the package is still on fc25.

I tried to add the specific version when tried to reinstall but without success. I add this at the end of the package name 2-1.fc25.noarch and some other combination.

BTW I am on fc26 and the package can be found on the copr.

Thanks

Try sudo dnf downgrade --releasever=25 <package-name>.

But it might be that the old package is no longer available on the COPR repository, it depends on the maintainer.

just list the specific version using the naming convention in the expected order; it's a bit counter intuitive. I.e.; to install a specific version of vim you would use:

sudo dnf install vim-common-2:8.0.1763-19.el8.4.x86_64

But when you list a specific version using dnf list it will display the name in a different manner:

sudo dnf list installed | grep vim
vim-common.x86_64                    2:8.0.1763-19.el8.4
