Safe to downgrade to: a release before 0.4.0_corno_fulgure

1. Check installed version

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

2. No fixed release: DOWNGRADE to a release before 0.4.0_corno_fulgure (Debian / Ubuntu)

apt-cache madison nodezilla sudo apt install nodezilla=<VERSION_BEFORE_0.4.0_corno_fulgure> sudo apt-mark hold nodezilla

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

dnf --showduplicates list nodezilla sudo dnf downgrade nodezilla-<VERSION_BEFORE_0.4.0_corno_fulgure> sudo dnf versionlock add nodezilla

Downgrade risk

Downgrading can break dependent software and may reopen older bugs. Read the distro advisory first and test on a non-production host.

After downgrade

Restart the service, and keep the package held until a fixed release ships.
