Update Manager update roll-back

[Prsman]

On the 17th I updated the suggestions in update manager. Items were this: libc-bin and libc6 2.23-0ubuntu9 to version 2.23-0ubuntu10.
I now get seg faults in libc-2.23.SO. I would like to roll back to the earlier version. Synaptic does not give me the version I want with force Version.
It gives me version 0ubuntu3. Could I force it with this:

Code: Select all

sudo apt-get install libc-bin=libc-bin-2.23-0ubuntu9

I guess I could do a dry run first to see if it will work. Any thoughts? Thanks

Have a look at the dpkg command, on which most (if not all) of the apt-* tools are based. I think it has the ability to roll back to the previous version. Check man apt-get too, in-case that also has such a feature.
