I installed the update to Enelightenment to from 19.5_3 to 19.5_4 and 
started getting segmiation faults just setting there watching a video -- 
more than once to the point of I just said screw this, becuse one cannot 
reenstall an old version that i know of I just dummped the whole system and 
reenisted it then put Enelightenment on hold for updating.


how can it be said it is stable to upgrade everyday and to put trust into 
this system for the upgrades / dates to be stable. when it causes 
segmentation faults after installing them?

makes me leary in ever updating anything especailly E19.5 ....

Please keep in mind that all work on void is done by volunteers, some of 
which are maintaining hundrets and even thousands of packages. In that 
regard it is impossible to extensively test every new version of every 
package, especially if the maintainers are not actively using them 
themselfs. When you encounter a problem like this please report it here 
(like you did) or in the GitHub issue tracker 
<https://github.com/voidlinux/void-packages/issues>.

As for downgrading, the process is a little fiddly. I usually create a 
temporary repository, add the older package from the xbps package cache to 
it and that use that repository to force-downgrade the currenty installed 
package. Something like this:

mkdir /tmp/repo
cp /var/cache/xbps/<packagefilename>.xbps* /tmp/repo/
cd /tmp/repo
xbps-rindex -a <packagefilename>.xbps
xbps-install --repository=/tmp/repo -f <package>

xbps-install xtools
xdowngrade /var/cache/xbps/$file.xbps
