Comment 21 for bug 429003

There definitely needs to be a rollback feature, but not one specific to synaptic (it's not even installed by default in Kubuntu, no?).

It should probably be an option from the recovery menu: "roll back packages since [time|last-successful-boot]".

This probably won't happen much to non-alpha/beta ("average") users, but would be a nice feature just in case someone hoses their production system with a 3rd party package.

Oh well, hopefully the Ubuntu gurus are working out the problems and we either get new libc6 or nvidia-glx-* packages soon. Until then I'm just pinning the libc6 packages to ubuntu9.
