Downgrading packages (specifically wine)

Hello there.

I installed Arch for the first time a couple of days ago and so far it has all gone swimmingly. I even have conky running on my desktop to show people just how swimmingly it has all gone. And it has.

However, it seems Wine 1.1.12 has a regression in it that breaks InstallShield based programs. 1.1.11 does not suffer from this.

So I was wondering if pacman has a way of downgrading packages. I don't know if 1.1.11 still is, or ever was, in the repositories or how to go about downgrading if it is.

Help, or simple illumination on this is appreciated.

Thanks.

Thank you.

Don't know how I missed that page. Ah well. It seems 1.1.12 is in all the repos now, except one which has 1.1.10 (which installs fine, but then fails to run, unfortunately.) I found a workaround on the Wine forum for the error I was experiencing anyway, so all's well.
