Pkg and dependencies

[Peter Boosten via freebsd-questions]

I always trusted on the FreeBSD pkg system (binary packages) that dependencies would be checked before updating, but apparently it doesn’t.

Last night an update of py37-feedparser broke my sabnzbdplus package, because the latter needs version 5 of feedparser, while the upgrade installed version 6.

I’ve searched my cache, and cannot find the 5-version in there.

How can I revert to version 5.2.1 (the previous installed version) again

Depending on your architecture, you might find 5.2.1 in quarterly.
