My Ubuntu 16.04 suddenly upgraded to nautilus 3.18. Is there anyway to downgrade back to 3.14?

I'm on Ubuntu 16.04:

Ubuntu Version

and I just received updates yesterday but Nautilus version is still:

From what I've read it's difficult to run a different version of Nautilus with a specific Ubuntu version, they are tightly married.

  • I was trying to upgrade to kernel 4.8.7. It all started after i typed dist upgrade – Araz Gasimov Nov 12 '16 at 02:09
  • Yup you just upgraded to Ubuntu 16.10 which uses kernel 4.8.0. See this answer which describes how to upgrade to 4.8.5 kernel and you need to massage the instructions for 4.8.7: http://askubuntu.com/questions/839919/what-is-dirty-cow-bug-and-how-do-i-protect-against-that-bug/839920#839920 – WinEunuuchs2Unix Nov 12 '16 at 02:15
  • I'm still using ubuntu 16.04 according to About this computer section – Araz Gasimov Nov 12 '16 at 02:19
  • Is your kernel still at 4.4.0-47? Use `uname -r` to find out. – WinEunuuchs2Unix Nov 12 '16 at 02:20
  • I have 4.8.7 and also 4.4.0-47. No i switched to 4.4.0-47 – Araz Gasimov Nov 12 '16 at 02:29
  • You can do `sudo apt-get remove nautilus` and `sudo apt-get install nautilus` but we want to freeze the package at version 3.14.3 before installing to make sure 3.18 doesn't get installed again. I'm trying some google searches. Also others performing dist-upgrade might report the same problems soon. – WinEunuuchs2Unix Nov 12 '16 at 02:35
