I’m running 5.1.8 and there is a bug which makes renaming symbols crash eeschema. As a result its pretty much unusable for me so have to revert. (Bug has been reported and will be fixed in 5.1.9)
I’ve tried
sudo apt-get install kicad=5.1.7
apt-cache only shows 5.1.8 and 5.1.5:
$ apt-cache show kicad | grep Version
Version: 5.1.8-202011242336+db9833491~88~ubuntu20.04.1
Version: 5.1.5+dfsg1-2build2
Does anyone have any ideas on what the package name is for 5.1.7?
After a lot of Googling I found the .deb file for 5.1.7
Downgraded and editor working again.
For the future reference and whomever else may find this topic for similar problem:
To install specific version of package
sudo apt-get install <package-name>=<package-version-number>
To get list of package versions in the repository
apt-cache showpkg <package-name>
The problem is the current repo that’s been configured as per the download section only has versions 5.1.5 and 5.1.8.
So in this case those commands don’t help.
