apt-rollback

Upgraded some packages and something broke? You're not alone.

This tool will revert all package operations on an apt-based system back to a specific time that you provide. It retrieves action logs from dpkg logs, so it doesn't matter if you use apt, aptitude, synaptic or other tools.

Installation

This is a simple, self-contained python3 script with no extra dependencies. If you have python3 (3.5+ particularly) you're good to go, just download the script, give it execution permissions and read its help with ./apt-rollback.py -h.

Dependencies

• python 3.5+
• Debian: packages are downloaded from http://snapshot.debian.org/ which only keeps track of Debian packages. Supporting other distros could be possible without much trouble though.
