Hi ncnbnt.

I don't think there is a way to downgrade. A clean install is the only way

to go back.

You cannot downgrade, make backups and do a fresh installation.

And if you want to use software from different Ubuntu releases in the future, have a look at documentation about backports or apt-pinning.

It might be much easier to try to get the programs to install... which are they?

Did you upgrade

a) 8.04 > 9.04

or

b) 8.04 > 8.10 > 9.04?

The former will break your system, while the latter is the proper way to upgrade.
