Yesterday the "software update app" suggested me a list of updates and I decided to apply them. Today I start my computer to find that a program I use every day is not working properly. The program is Lyx. Is there any way to revert this updates? I have tried with Synaptic but it gives me no options to "force version".

In this link it can be found a screencast illustrating the problems.

  • Could you elaborate on what "not working properly" means?

    I have recorded a little screencast to illustrate the two problems I am having. It can be found in this link.

  • I took the liberty to add an image from the screencast. Please remove if you feel it isn't needed or helpful.

The solution I found was to re install version 2.3.0-1 (lyx - 2.3.0-1~artful~ppa1 in this link). For that, I manually downloaded the packages fonts-lyx_2.3.0-1~artful~ppa1_all.deb, lyx-common_2.3.0-1~artful~ppa1_all.deb and lyx_2.3.0-1~artful~ppa1_amd64.deb from here (which indeed is part of this). Then I removed the 3 corresponding packages from my computer (manually using Synaptic) and finally I installed the downloaded packages using "right click --> software manager". Now I have Lyx 2.3.0-1 in Xubuntu 18.04 happily running, and will not update for a long time.
