I think "I would have preferred not to have received that news".I have seen a similar sentence

"It would have been better If you had never been born," said Lear, "than not to have pleased me better"

Good morning Volcano.
So I have, but I have been asked the same question recently, and in my mind one could use either sentence depending on what context you put them in, although, I don`t want to mislead this person, therefore I want to make sure before going back to him.
I appreciate your input, and if yourself or any of the teachers would please help me out with this post, it`ll be greatly appreciated.

God bless.
Cisco.
