Safe to downgrade to: a release before 1.0

1. Check installed version

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

apt-cache madison phprog sudo apt install phprog=<VERSION_BEFORE_1.0> sudo apt-mark hold phprog

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

dnf --showduplicates list phprog sudo dnf downgrade phprog-<VERSION_BEFORE_1.0> sudo dnf versionlock add phprog

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.
