You might find it in /var/backups/dpkg.status.n where n can be 0-9 or
if 
you can remember the date you performed that update, do an ls -l on 
/var/backups/ and look at that day's dpkg.status log as every apt-get 
action is logged to that file. 

If you're really lucky, and you haven't cleared /var/cache/apt/archives 
your previous version should still be there.

Of course, if you're not using Debian (or Ubuntu or some other
Debian-based 
distro) all bets are off.

Good luck,
Myles
