NAME
       dnf5-downgrade - Downgrade Command

SYNOPSIS
       dnf5 downgrade [options] <package-spec>...

DESCRIPTION
       The downgrade command in DNF5 is used to downgrade each package
       specified in package-spec list to the highest installable version of
       all known lower versions if possible. When the version is explicitly
       given in the argument and it is lower than the version of the installed
       package then it downgrades to this one.

OPTIONS

       --allowerasing
              Allow removing of installed packages to resolve any potential dependency problems.


       --skip-broken
              Resolve any dependency problems by removing packages that are causing problems from the transaction.


       --skip-unavailable
              Allow skipping packages that are not possible to downgrade. All remaining packages will be downgraded.


       --allow-downgrade
              Enable downgrade of dependencies when resolving the requested operation.


       --no-allow-downgrade
              Disable downgrade of dependencies when resolving the requested operation.


       --downloadonly
              Download the resolved package set without executing an RPM transaction.


       --offline
              Store the transaction to be performed offline. See dnf5-offline(8), Offline command.
