libtunepimp libtunepimp DOWNGRADE

Affected: 0.4.2

Fixed in: no fixed release known

Safe to downgrade to: a release before 0.4.2

1. Check installed version

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

2. No fixed release: DOWNGRADE to a release before 0.4.2 (Debian / Ubuntu)

apt-cache madison libtunepimp sudo apt install libtunepimp=<VERSION_BEFORE_0.4.2> sudo apt-mark hold libtunepimp

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

dnf --showduplicates list libtunepimp sudo dnf downgrade libtunepimp-<VERSION_BEFORE_0.4.2> sudo dnf versionlock add libtunepimp

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.
