How do I install a specific version of a package? (lemmy.world)

I'm on Manjaro, and accidentally upgraded my D compilers to those that have the AI slop contributions. I uninstalled them from Pacman, I wonder if I can do it via Pacman, or have to do it manually (LDC has a (very) temporary install script, meaning it tricks the terminal session into believing it's the reference compiler DMD, which is not ideal, want a permanent solution, as this one conflicts with GUI editors and the package manager).

Go to archlinux archive, download required version (or look it up in local pacman cache), install it with pacman -U ..., add package to IgnorePkg in /etc/pacman.conf.

manjarojust move from it on the next computer, it is not in any way more 'stable' than regular arch, and it had a lot of problems both historically and has a lot of them still.

Yeah, I was thinking of moving onto CachyOS, the new Manjaro, but I'm too lazy to do so on my thinkpad. Maybe I'll do it on my desktop the moment I really cannot remain on Win10 for my main OS.
