As I had very little time and people were in panic without Internet, I did this Quick and dirty downgrade from 170 to 169.
Use SSH / shell to connect to ipfire, and there edit (maybe with nano or vi)
- Edit the /opt/pakfire/db/core/mine and change current core update to 168
- Check PGP info from /opt/pakfire/db/installed/meta-core-upgrade-169. For me

- Edit /opt/pakfire/db/lists/core-list.db to same PGP as in meta-core-upgrade-169 and change $core_release to 169
On Web GUI
4. Go to GUI > Pakfire and run an “upgrade” to 169. You need Internet, so I had to reboot and then be fast before the dongle stopped working.
5. Go to GUI > System - Shutdown > reboot ipfire
BTW, this will leave some stuff from 170 on the system, but that should correct itself when you later upgrade to 171.
So disclaimer. If this accidentally screws up and destroys data on your PC, electrocutes you, makes your monitor explode in your face, set’s your house on fire, changes all the text you say in online games to random auto correct, causes everyone on the planet (and beyond) to dislike you, hacks into a nearby nuclear missile and targets your house, gets you banned from online games, becomes sentient and starts killing everyone on this planet or does anything else you don’t want it to do, don’t blame me
