Help with DNF --unable to rollback

  • 1.  Help with DNF --unable to rollback

    Posted 12 days ago

    I am using IBM opensource repository.

    I am new to using dnf so pardon my lack of knowledge on this.

    I upgraded curl from 7.83.1-1 to curl-8.14.1-1.

    I tried to undo upgrade but failing with message below.

    Why is that? 

    1. Does dnf not save a copy of filesets somewhere non my system for rollback?
    2. Is the message below  No package ca-certificates-2023.2.60-0.ppc available because it cannot find it in the repository ?  The repository on my system has two versions of curl. Did dnf go out to IBM and not see that version needed to rollback.  Did dnf look at IBM website here Index of /aix/freeSoftware/aixtoolbox/RPMS/ppc/ca-certificates and the closest available is ca-certificates-2023.2.60-1.ppc?

    3. Can I download ca-certificates-2023.2.60-1.ppc and install manually and try rollback (undo). Will I see other failures too?

    Appreciate any assistance provided.

    Thank you!
