ITTVIS offers this one line solution for debian (etch) and its variant
Ubuntu:
See: http://www.ittvis.com/services/techtip.asp?ttid=4177
$ sudo dpkg -i libx11-6_1.0.3-6_i386.deb
But it's not as easy as that because of the simple fact that packages
can have interdependencies, and especially with the X11 client side
library. Such a rolling back will affect many other packages and
forcing the downgrade can cause more bad than good with broken
dependencies.
The best and easiest way would be to:
#1. click on synaptic package manager from your desktop menu or do a
'sudo synaptic' from command line
#2. Highlight the libx11-6 package, it will show you the currently
installed version, the latest version and a brief description of the
package
#3. Open on the 'package' menu and click on 'force version' and it
will show you the most recent and other available previous versions.
You may then choose the next to latest version to roll back. For
example, I am running Ubuntu dapper, so these version numbers would be
Ubuntu specific. If you use Debian, then it will be Debian specific
numbers.
After the Dapper security update the latest version was:
2:1.0.0-0ubuntu9.1 and I downgraded to 2:1.0.0ubuntu9 and the segfault
problem went away and I can use the tv, xloadct commands. The synaptic
package manger, being the friendly sort he is, would tell you what are
the packages that will be affected by this downgrad/roll back and help
you to make the right choice for you.
