Solus provides a history and rollback feature via its package manager, eopkg. This feature allows you to see when your repository was last updated, actions such as installation, removal, and upgrading of software. History You can see the history from eopkg by using: sudo eopkg history Rollback To rollback your system, first use the above history command to check what the transaction / operation number was. Then, we use the following command: sudo eopkg history -t number The number, in this case, is the operation before the one you want to change. So if the number was 100 , then you would use 99 .
