Hi,

I’m using Ansible on Ubuntu-14.04 and the 2.0.0.1 release of ansible pushed to PPA last night introduces bugs relater to 'with\_items`with`local` connector (likely [https://github.com/ansible/ansible/issues/13624](https://github.com/ansible/ansible/issues/13624)). However, it seems like the previous version 1.9.4 that worked fine is no longer available from the PPA. Could you please advise how to downgrade?

-Dmitri

You can get (I think one version back) from PPAs from the build history:

[https://launchpad.net/~ansible/+archive/ubuntu/ansible/+builds?build\_text=&build\_state=built](https://launchpad.net/~ansible/+archive/ubuntu/ansible/+builds?build_text=&build_state=built)

Not via APT though, because later releases replace earlier ones.

Yes, this is what I figured so far. We deploy our QA server with ansible, so I could modify the playbook to install ansible \*.deb file but it would be much easier if the older version is available from PPA and revert back to the latest version when these bugs are fixed.

I think that would make sense from package maintenance standpoint as well since v2 is the major rework and lots of people may just want to play it safe and stick with a stable version.
