I'm trying to compile
polybar
, and I get a long compilation error which is related to xcb (apparently), I have the log file here ; I've read through the polybar wiki and I came upon the solution of downgrading xcb-proto
to 1.11
, and so I followed through with the process, although I'm not really sure how to check ther version (the logs tell me that each X-extension has version 1.13 though?)
Nonetheless I've tried compiling with both Clang and GCC using build.sh
, all to no avail, my question is how I can downgrade packages:
-- [X] xcb-randr (1.13.1)
-- [X] xcb-randr (monitor support) (1.13.1)
-- [X] xcb-composite (1.13.1)
-- [X] xcb-xkb (1.13.1)
[...]
to version 1.11?
EDIT
I have tried to remove the libxcb*
packages from my Debian, and before I wrote yes
on the prompt to continue I noticed it would make redundant a lot of packages that would otherwise be beneficial to my system, so I don't see how I can hotplug a downgrade without removing the packages I want to downgrade to begin with.
