I have SUSE Linux 11 set to do automatic updates and it's installed PHP 5.3.1RC2-dev and broken several of my Joomla web sites.  Joomla only works with PHP 5.2+.  Nice.

Since I use the package manager, YAST, I'm wondering how easy it will be to roll it back to the previous version.

Any advice?

Well, I tried to roll it back and ended up hosing the machine.  There is definitely an option in Yast to roll back to a previous version of PHP, but it didn?t work for me.  I seem to have lost a connection to the software repositories on that machine, so I managed to hose the system so badly trying to roll it back that it just stopped working.  I had another computer sitting around I was planning to replace it with, so I installed openSuse 11.1 on it.  I don?t even see PHP 5.3 on the list of updates, so it has PHP 5.2.11 installed on it now and everything is running great.  I turned off the automatic updates, so it should stay on PHP version 5.2.11 until I manually tell it to do an upgrade.

 

So, overall, rolling back didn?t work.  A clean install worked great.  I don?t know how many times I have updated the OS on that old machine, but it was time for a fresh install.  I?m probably better off than I would have been if I had gotten the old machine running.  The new one runs great.

 

I?m wondering if I left openSuse 11.0 on the old machine too long and should have updated it when the 11.1 version came out.  Oh well?
