I'm trying to downgrade smbclient as is no longer working with backuppc. I have followed the instructions in this post How to downgrade packages on Ubuntu? but it doesn't seem to work.
I ran
sudo apt-cache showpkg smbclient
sudo apt-get install smbclient=2:4.1.6+dfsg-1ubuntu2
But this does nothing. smbclient version is still Version 4.3.9-Ubuntu.
I have tried purging smbclient and then re-installing. This results in unmet dependencies.
vagrant@vagrant-ubuntu-trusty-64:~$ sudo apt-get install smbclient=2:4.1.6+dfsg-1ubuntu2
