.TH "DNF5-DOWNGRADE" "8" "Apr 23, 2026" "" "dnf5"
.SH NAME
dnf5-downgrade \- Downgrade Command
.SH SYNOPSIS
.sp
\fBdnf5 downgrade [options] <package\-spec\-NPFB>...\fP
.SH DESCRIPTION
.sp
The \fBdowngrade\fP command in \fBDNF5\fP is used to downgrade each package specified in \fBpackage\-spec\-NPFB\fP 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.
.SH OPTIONS

.fi
.sp
.TP
.B \fB\-\-allow\-downgrade\fP
.nf
Enable downgrade of dependencies when resolving the requested operation.
.fi
.sp

.INDENT 0.0
.TP
.B \fB\-\-from\-repo=REPO_ID,...\fP

Packages (or their provides) explicitly specified on the command line will only be looked up in the specified repositories.

.fi
.sp
.UNINDENT
.INDENT 0.0
.TP
.B \fB\-\-from\-vendor=VENDOR,...\fP
.nf
List of vendors separated by commas or spaces. Globs are supported (e.g., \fB\-\-from\-vendor=\(aqFedora\e project, vendorA, vendorB*, vendorC\(aq\fP).
Packages (or their provides) explicitly specified on the command line will only be looked up from the specified vendors.
The vendor change check is \fBbypassed\fP for these packages.
The vendor is ignored or vendor change policies (if \fBallow_vendor_change=0\fP) will still be used for packages that satisfy dependencies.
.fi
.sp
.UNINDENT
.INDENT 0.0
.TP
.B \fB\-\-downloadonly\fP
.nf
Download the resolved package set without executing an RPM transaction.
.fi
.sp
.UNINDENT
.INDENT 0.0
.TP
.B \fB\-\-offline\fP
.nf
Store the transaction to be performed offline. See offline command \%<#\:offline-command-ref-label>, \fBdnf5\-offline(8)\fP\&.
.fi
.sp
.TP
.B \fB\-\-store=PATH\fP
.nf
Store the current transaction in a directory at the specified \fBPATH\fP instead of running it.
The stored transaction can be performed by the replay command \%<#\:replay-command-ref-label>, \fBdnf5\-replay(8)\fP\&.
Note that repository ids in the stored transaction are mangled to \fB@stored_transaction(repo_id)\fP this is required
because during replaying the stored repositories are recreated and they might collide with already present repositories
(this doesn\(aqt apply to the special @System repository).
