KMyMoney Crash

I apologize, this is a stupid newbie question... How do I downgrade to gnutls 3.7.4-3 from 3.7.5 in order to fix the problem?

Re: KMyMoney Crash

Downgrading just gnutls would be a horrifically bad idea and it could cripple the rest of your system including pacman resulting in severe and difficult-to-repair breakage.  Don't.

If you think you need to downgrade the entire system to an earlier date for now, there is the arch linux archive (check the wiki).  But why do you think this is the solution?  What's the problem?

EDIT: I see this was previously discussed here but apparently no one bothered to submit an arch bug report so the maintainer could take appropriate action.  It would also appear that a couple of users on that thread may have downgraded just gnutls - but as noted, that seems like a very bad idea to me.  Though given it is a sub-version downgrade perhaps it wouldn't necessarily harm other dependent software.  But if it were me, I'd still downgrade the full system.  Some "leaf" packages can be downgraded safely on their own, but core libraries should definitely not be.

thanX much. I won't attempt the "fix" by just downgrading the gnutls.

You don't downgrade. You upgrade to the current version where the crash is fixed.
