15 Reverting or downgrade PHP


5.3 to 5.2 in Ubuntu Lucid
Lynx 10.04
05 May 2010 By Nick

So, you upgraded to Ubuntu 10.04 but suddenly your old applications like Drupal do
not work on PHP 5.3 anymore? What the hell?

Without asking why it doesn't work because we would only loose time we want to go
back to the version of PHP 5.2 where it does work!

Let us list all existing PHP packages to know what version we are running:
dpkg -l | grep php

So, now we are going to duplicate the existing sources.list and replace the lucid with
karmic repos and saving it in sources.list.d
Activity Stream
sed s/lucid/karmic/g /etc/apt/sources.list | sudo tee /etc/apt
