cpaint cpaint DOWNGRADE

Affected: 1.3_sp

Fixed in: no fixed release known

Safe to downgrade to: a release before 1.3_sp

1. Check installed version

apt-cache policy cpaint || rpm -q cpaint || cpaint --version

2. No fixed release: DOWNGRADE to a release before 1.3_sp (Debian / Ubuntu)

apt-cache madison cpaint sudo apt install cpaint=<VERSION_BEFORE_1.3_sp> sudo apt-mark hold cpaint

2. No fixed release: DOWNGRADE (RHEL / Amazon Linux / Fedora)
