Downgrade did not work, probably because I had already removed it with pacman -R and attempted reinstall ? In the future I will just downgrade.
FYI, when I created a new VM, it automatically downloaded the latest package, which we know doesn't work for SSL. How would I install the prior package if it wasn't cached (pacman -U, which worked on my original VM) ? Would downgrade wok on a new install ?
Just trying to understand, I want to become proficient, and not just learn enough to fiddle around with the VM. If there is a problem, I need to be able to troubleshoot.
Thanks for your help.
