After a successful downgrade, you can add <PACKAGE NAME> to your Ignore List ( "IgnorePkg" option in /etc/pacman.conf ). This will prevent Pacman from showing any available updates for <PACKAGE NAME>. <PACKAGE NAME> needs to be removed manually from your Ignore List in order to receive automatic updates of <PACKAGE NAME> again.
Alternatively, you can run future updates with the command "sudo pacman -Syu --ignore <PACKAGE NAME>" until a fixed version of <PACKAGE NAME> gets released.
ATTENTION: Be careful when downgrading to <PACKAGE NAME> from online sources, because these are old versions from the Arch Linux repositories and not the Manjaro repositories: In the worst case, this can brake your system! Therefore, it is recommended to limit downgrading to (old versions of) local packages, if possible.
ATTEMTION: Downgrading to a working version of <PACKAGE NAME> can break your system in in rare cases like the following: The latest system update has replaced a dependency of <PACKAGE NAME> with a different package and <PACKAGE NAME> is an important system package. Downgrading <PACKAGE NAME> will NOT reinstall the dependency of <PACKAGE NAME>, because it conflicts with the already installled different package. This can result in a broken system. Please keep these kind of conflicts in mind when using DOWNGRADE PACKAGES.
