Re: moving some packages back to bookworm stable

Hans, thanks for that but I am a bit confused following your
instructions.  Did you mean to I should remove the lines for 'stable'
from sources.list?  Or remove the lines for 'testing'?  I am trying to
get the packages to go back to stable.

I am more familiar with apt than aptitude.

I managed to do part of what Greg recommended.  I removed sendmail and
sasl2-bin and reinstalled them from stable.  That seemed to work fine,
I have fewer testing pkgs installed now:

$ apt-show-versions | g testing
db-util:all/testing 5.3.3 uptodate
db5.3-util:amd64/testing 5.3.28+dfsg2-7 uptodate
libc-bin:amd64/testing 2.38-11 uptodate
libc-dev-bin:amd64/testing 2.38-11 uptodate
libc-devtools:amd64/testing 2.38-11 uptodate
libc-l10n:all/testing 2.38-11 uptodate
libc6:amd64/testing 2.38-11 uptodate
libc6-dev:amd64/testing 2.38-11 uptodate
libdb5.3t64:amd64/testing 5.3.28+dfsg2-7 uptodate
libmilter1.0.1:amd64/testing 8.18.1-3 uptodate
libsasl2-2:amd64/testing 2.1.28+dfsg1-6 uptodate
libsasl2-modules:amd64/testing 2.1.28+dfsg1-6 uptodate
libsasl2-modules-db:amd64/testing 2.1.28+dfsg1-6 uptodate
libssl3t64:amd64/testing 3.2.1-3 uptodate
libzstd1:amd64/testing 1.5.5+dfsg2-2 uptodate
locales:all/testing 2.38-11 uptodate
openssh-client:amd64/testing 1:9.7p1-5 uptodate
openssh-server:amd64/testing 1:9.7p1-5 uptodate
openssh-sftp-server:amd64/testing 1:9.7p1-5 uptodate
openssl:amd64/testing 3.2.1-3 uptodate
zstd:amd64/testing 1.5.5+dfsg2-2 uptodate

so I thought I'd try the same process with db5.3, but removing db5.3
wants to remove a slew of packages:

# apt reinstall -s libdb5.3/bookworm
...
Selected version '5.3.28+dfsg2-1' (Debian:12.5/stable [amd64]) for 'libdb5.3'
The following packages were automatically installed and are no longer required:
  acl apache2-data apache2-utils augeas-lenses avahi-daemon clamav-base colord-data git-man gnupg-l10n gnupg-utils gpg-wks-server guile-3.0-libs ipp-usb libapr1 libaprutil1
  libaprutil1-dbd-sqlite3 libaugeas0 libavahi-core7 libcolorhug2 libdaemon0 libexif12 libgphoto2-l10n libgphoto2-port12 libgudev-1.0-0 libgusb2 libhashkit2 libieee1284-3 libldap-common
  liblua5.3-0 libnspr4 libnss-mdns libnss3 libopendbx1 libopendbx1-sqlite3 libopendkim11 libpoppler-glib8 libpoppler126 libpython2-stdlib libpython3.11 librbl1 librtmp1 libsane-common
  libsnmp-base libsnmp40 libssh2-1 libvbr2 mailutils-common python2 python2-minimal python3-augeas sane-airscan update-inetd usb.ids
Use 'apt autoremove' to remove them

Is there some way to get apt to reinstall a package such that it does
not think it has to uninstall things which depend on it because it's
being immediatly reinstalled?

And for those of you telling me to have a backup, I do.  I have booted
a snapshot from about a week ago.  However, to make that the live one
and dump this one, it's not so easy but possible.  That snapshot has
only sendmail from testing. Hard to know what is more work, going down
this route or making the other instance live.  I'm starting to think
about abandoning this and reconfiguring the backup instance.
