sgi propack DOWNGRADE

Affected: 3 sp6

Fixed in: no fixed release known

Safe to downgrade to: a release before 3

1. Check installed version

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

2. No fixed release: DOWNGRADE to a release before 3 (Debian / Ubuntu)

apt-cache madison propack sudo apt install propack=<VERSION_BEFORE_3> sudo apt-mark hold propack

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

dnf --showduplicates list propack sudo dnf downgrade propack-<VERSION_BEFORE_3> sudo dnf versionlock add propack

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.
