I'm trying to downgrade my libcurl version from 7.54.0 to 7.52.1 in Linux Red Hat 6.

I run:

[root@fossa yhchai]# sudo rpm -Uvh http://nervion.us.es/city-fan/yum-repo/rhel6/x86_64/curl-7.52.1-1.0.cf.rhel6.x86_64.rpm

and it gives me a fail dependencies error: 

Retrieving http://nervion.us.es/city-fan/yum-repo/rhel6/x86_64/curl-7.52.1-1.0.cf.rhel6.x86_64.rpm
error: Failed dependencies:
        libcurl(x86-64) = 7.52.1-1.0.cf.rhel6 is needed by curl-7.52.1-1.0.cf.rhel6.x86_64

Appreciate if you guys could provide some enlightenment and solution for this, thank you.

You have to downgrade both (curl and libcurl) packages. If you have more dependencies, you have to downgrade them too. Here are a couple of options how to do it:

If you have yum installed, then do,

 ~]# yum downgrade curl libcurl

OR

 ~]# yum downgrade curl-7.52.1-1.0.cf.rhel6 libcurl-7.52.1-1.0.cf.rhel6

OR

first download the two packages to a directory mydir,

~]# cd mydir
~]# wget http://nervion.us.es/city-fan/yum-repo/rhel6/x86_64/curl-7.52.1-1.0.cf.rhel6.x86_64.rpm
~]# wget http://nervion.us.es/city-fan/yum-repo/rhel6/x86_64/libcurl-7.52.1-1.0.cf.rhel6.x86_64.rpm

And then,

~]# rpm -Uvh *curl*.rpm
