how can one roll back to r13 in 64 bit debian wheezy?
The "force" option
in synaptic is not available. would "complete removal" of r14, then a
switch to r13 repos and subsequent install work?
I use Debian Wheezy.
I have done that here. The Desktop Environment, X windows system are
applications installed on top of a base system, all removeable.
Some of the tools available, imho, more usefull than synaptic.
"aptitude, dselect"..package management from the command line...use the search
and purge features.
'apt-cache search <text string>' , 'apt-get purge <text
string>',
'apt-get autoremove', search 'trinity, tqt3', remove leftovers in /etc
and /opt.
To get a clean base + X system takes some time, weigh that against
re-install.
