When I try to install bison on my ubuntu 14.04 using the command sudo apt-get install bison, the version 3 is installed.

I would like to downgrade bison to use the version 2.7.

How can I do it?

Thanks.

I installed last pkgs of bison (2.7.1) and libbison-dev (2.7.1) from Saucy and it worked like a charm.

wget http://launchpadlibrarian.net/140087283/libbison-dev_2.7.1.dfsg-1_amd64.deb

wget http://launchpadlibrarian.net/140087282/bison_2.7.1.dfsg-1_amd64.deb

dpkg -i libbison-dev_2.7.1.dfsg-1_amd64.deb

dpkg -i bison_2.7.1.dfsg-1_amd64.deb

To prevent update manager from overwriting this package

apt-mark hold libbison-dev

apt-mark hold bison

Done.
