Rollback Jitsi packages on Debian
Last night new JITSI packages were released that broke in my setup. Making sure this would be the last time I break production by auto updating, I downgraded the packages manually and after that put a 'hold' in place for these specific packages. I actually hate doing that, because it is trading security for stabililty, but right now it will have to do.
I recorded my steps for future reference
Check /var/log/dpkg.log for previous versions:
# grep upgrade /var/log/dpkg.log
