How do I undo the update?
By "installing" the older versions:
rpm -Uvh --force cups-1.1.23-30.2.i386.rpm cups-libs-1.1.23-30.2.i386.rpm
will do the job.
As is usually the case, --force shouldn't be necessary: --oldpackage should work just as well and will reveal if there are any dependency issues (e.g. other packages that also need to be downgraded) with the action, unlike --force.
Sorry, I don't believe my eyes, but 'man rpm' says:
--force Same as using --replacepkgs, --replacefiles, and --oldpackage.:)
Must get a coffee. I was thinking that --force included --nodeps too (another option to be avoided if at all possible). Still, neither --replacepkgs nor --replacefiles should be needed in this case.
