Description Christian Stadelmann 2014-10-15 21:24:49 UTC 
Description of problem:
I just tried to run
# dnf downgrade evolution
on a x86_64 Fedora 21 Alpha system. I got a huge list of packages to be installed – all of them were i686 instead of x86_64

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
dnf 0.8.2-1.fc21
rpm 4.12.0.1-2.fc21

Additional info:
This renders [dnf downgrade] completely useless.

Comment 4 Honza Silhan 2014-10-17 12:38:58 UTC 
Thanks, from brief look I guess that's because of multilib policy, but I haven't found the package that is binded to i686 package of the same version.

Can you try it with yum, please? Is only lower version of evolution installed?
Comment 5 Christian Stadelmann 2014-10-17 20:21:18 UTC 
# yum downgrade evolution
fails because of a dependency issue. (I had the package database updated locally).
I have evolution 3.12.7.1 installed (previously 3.12.7) and wanted to downgrade to 3.12.6 which didn't work.
Comment 6 Honza Silhan 2014-10-20 15:26:26 UTC 
Christian, evolution and evolution-help are binded together. You can downgrade both of them together or add `-allowerasing` switch to command line to remove older version of evolution-help. The solver tried to figure out how to keep evolution-help. This is not IMO packaging problem either.
