            Will try and downgrade a package from the version currently
installed  to  the
            previously highest version (or the specified version).  The
depsolver will not
            necessarily work, but if you specify all the  packages  it 
should  work  (and
            thus.  all  the  simple cases will work). Also this does not
work for "instal-
            lonly" packages, like Kernels. downgrade operates on groups, 
files,  provides
            and filelists just like the "install" command.

Or, perhaps Oracle has a package built?
