Hello,
Im currently facing this issue with package installed from the AUR repository (yay -S.

[I] ➜ DOWNGRADE_FROM_ALA=1 downgrade neovim-nightly

Downgrading from A.L.A. is disabled on the stable branch. To override this behavior, set DOWNGRADE_FROM_ALA to 1 .
See https://wiki.manjaro.org/index.php?title=Using_Downgrade  for more details.

Kernel: x86_64 Linux 5.2.11-1-MANJARO
Shell: zsh 5.7.1 (It doesnt work with bash either)

Hmm, I don't have any kind of message like that in downgrade itself:

% g grep 'is disabled on the stable branch'
% 1

So this seems to be something Manjaro is doing on top of my script. They must be setting DOWNGRADE_FROM_ALA=0 somewhere, since the default behavior of downgrade is to indeed try the ALA. My guess is they're doing it somewhere that is still being picked up even when you invoke it with DOWNGRADE_FROM_ALA=1 on the command-line. Maybe try adding an export somewhere instead (e.g. ~./.zshrc)?

Either way, I suggest you seek help by some Manjaro-specific avenue -- closing as not a downgrade issue.

For future reference, I can confirm isolation of the problem to Manjaro. Installing downgrade from the community repo yields the message from OP plus a link to https://wiki.manjaro.org/index.php?title=Using_Downgrade.

Unfortunately, for some reason the suggestion of setting DOWNGRADE_FROM_ALA=1 did nothing for me.

This was however fixed by installing downgrade from AUR (e.g. with yay -Sa downgrade).

I can confirm wleoncios comments.

Same issue here. I'm running DOWNGRADE_FROM_ALA=1 downgrade <package> and still getting the message:

Downgrading from A.L.A. is disabled on the stable branch. To override this behavior, set DOWNGRADE_FROM_ALA to 1 .
See https://wiki.manjaro.org/index.php?title=Using_Downgrade  for more details.

Unable to downgrade <package>

I've set export DOWNGRADE_FROM_ALA=1 in my bash file and getting the same results.

Installing from AUR as @wleoncio suggested worked. That issue is present in the official repositories from Manjaro.

I'm going to go ahead and lock this conversation. This is a Manjaro issue, so please seek any support, and centralize any further discussion, in one of their communication channels.
