Downgrade Command

Synopsis

dnf5 downgrade [options] <package-spec>...

Description

The downgrade command in DNF5 is used to downgrade each package specified in package-spec list to the highest installable version of all known lower versions if possible. When the version is explicitly given in the argument and it is lower than the version of the installed package then it downgrades to this one.

--no-allow-downgrade

--downloadonly
Download the resolved package set without executing an RPM transaction.
--offline
Store the transaction to be performed offline. See dnf5-offline(8), Offline command.
