ringlink ringlink DOWNGRADE

Affected: 3.2

Fixed in: no fixed release known

Safe to downgrade to: a release before 3.2

1. Check installed version

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

2. No fixed release: DOWNGRADE to a release before 3.2 (Debian / Ubuntu)

apt-cache madison ringlink sudo apt install ringlink=<VERSION_BEFORE_3.2> sudo apt-mark hold ringlink

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

dnf --showduplicates list ringlink sudo dnf downgrade ringlink-<VERSION_BEFORE_3.2> sudo dnf versionlock add ringlink

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.
