One of my systems has had Debian 7.x (AMD64) installed from 3 DVD's and subsequently it has been upgraded over the internet to testing a number of times. The last of these upgrades was sometime back (6 months or so). This was upgraded to 8.1 yesterday.
I'm puzzled by what you say here, you seem to imply the sequence is: 1) Install 7.x from DVD 2) Upgrade to Debian testing 3) Downgrade from testing to 8.1 When you said testing, did you mean you set it to testing or to jessie? If it was testing then that could explain your issues as you'd have had newer packages appearing there once Jessie was released than you would have when you later downgraded to 8.1. On the other hand, if you set it to jessie thenthat transitioned from testing to stable when it was released. As you were running testing at some stage (either as testing or jessie) then could it be that you had packages that were removed due to release blocker bugs? Best of luck!
