Fixed in: no fixed release known

Safe to downgrade to: a release before svn_revision_283

1. Check installed version

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

2. No fixed release: DOWNGRADE to a release before svn_revision_283 (Debian / Ubuntu)

apt-cache madison raydium sudo apt install raydium=<VERSION_BEFORE_svn_revision_283> sudo apt-mark hold raydium

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

dnf --showduplicates list raydium sudo dnf downgrade raydium-<VERSION_BEFORE_svn_revision_283> sudo dnf versionlock add raydium

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.
