Apt is one of the worst package managers I've used. Yum is also trash, dnf a bit better. But pacman is by far the best

    I haven't used pacman in ages and I don't remember rolling back updates with it so I either never needed to or it was not possible at the time.

    dnf did everything I needed it to so I wouldn't know what to fault it for

    You can very easily rollback updates from cache, and even rollback all your packages to a specific date in time.

    It does get a bit iffy with AUR packages because you often compile them locally, so they would need to be recompiled from a specific commit.

    Now that you mention it, I remember rolling back by reinstalling old packages stored in cache, but not rolling back to a specific date. On dnf I once had to roll-back an update, and that is managed by transaction number (let's say revert the last update), so it's good if you don't know which package exactly is causing the issue.
