[Closed]Downgradeing package isn't availible in out-off sync mirror

OK I admit this is a bit of a stupid question, but still...
I've done

pacman -Scc

not knowing that I might need it again. But I do.
I have reason to believe that Qt4.5 is a root of all recent problems I had. (BTW I use KDEmod4.2.1)
To shortly list my problems:
-No KHotKeys and no possibility to add a hotkey in system settings-> input actions.
-having problems with locale, can't sett it on si_SL thus sometimes having a "weird fonts", especially with special characters as č š ž. But not always I can type this normally, but
sometimes my y and z get switched and in HTML my č š ž aren't displayed properly, and I know for the fact that it should work as last time I edited that html file I was able to write č, š ž and get it
appear properly.
Sorry it's because Kate is set to westrn instead of UTF-8 by default so it has nothing to do with Qt.
-No system notification if I press capslock even if I sett it to notify me. Not sure if it's a Qt related problem.

(It's either that I somehow install a Qt4.4 or to try a SVN or the newest KDE which is coded with Qt4.5 in mind;
I just don't know how stable is the testing / unstable or even SVN KDE. I do need Arch for my day-to-day work)

I did consult the Arch Wiki and tried almost every out off sync mirror and the Package search but I couldn't found Qt4.4 version.
Any help is welcome.
thanks in advance.

As I have discovered, it's usually a bad idea to use old packages as they break other things.  But sometimes you have to do what you have to do.

I've uploaded qt-4.4.3-5-i686 here:
http://jwc.mit.edu/t/qt-4.4.3-5-i686.pkg.tar.gz

I'll keep it around for a few weeks or so.

Thanks! I hope this will get at least some things working.
If not I can still upgrade back; Right?

Damn! That didn't solved any of my problems.
I'm beginning to think that my problems with Arch are more deep and go back to installation.
I tried just about everything and I still don't have a "normally" working OS.
Sorry that I made you upload the Qt4.4 as it turns out that my problems are probably in me and not in the Qt, KDE or Arch big_smile

That's fine. smile  You made sure to restart X, right?

It sounds like a localization problem...  I have absolutely no experience with that stuff, though...  Perhaps mark this topic as [closed] and start a new one investigating localization problems?
