roll back to previous version of specific package

I have a general question. I recently upgraded with pacman -Syu and my lighttpd is now broken. Is there a way to simply roll back to the previous version of a specific package? Thanks!

Re: roll back to previous version of specific package

see if the older package is still in /var/cache/pacman/pkg. If you find it, which you hsould be able to unless you ran pacman -Sc at an inopportune moment, you can install with pacman -U /var/cache/pacman/pkg/pkgname.pkgver.pkg.tar.gz
