Downgrade packages checking both local cache and the A.L.A., which is the default behavior:
# downgrade foo bar
Downgrade packages, specifying multiple cache directories:
# downgrade --pacman-cache /path/to/cache --pacman-cache /path/to/other/cache foo bar
Downgrade a package with any of the following version-filtering operators =,
==, =~, <=, >=, < and >:
# downgrade 'foo=1.0.0-1' 'bar>=1.2.1-1' 'baz=~^1.2'
Downgrade a package, looking in only local cache:
# downgrade --cached-only foo
Downgrade a package, looking in only the A.L.A.:
# downgrade --ala-only foo
Noninteractively downgrade foo to 1.0.0-1
# downgrade --latest --prefer-cache --ignore never 'foo=1.0.0-1'
Command-line options can be set persistently in
/etc/xdg/downgrade/downgrade.conf.
