redaction system redaction system DOWNGRADE

Affected: 1.0000

Fixed in: no fixed release known

Safe to downgrade to: a release before 1.0000

1. Check installed version

apt-cache policy redaction-system || rpm -q redaction-system || redaction-system --version

2. No fixed release: DOWNGRADE to a release before 1.0000 (Debian / Ubuntu)

apt-cache madison redaction-system sudo apt install redaction-system=<VERSION_BEFORE_1.0000> sudo apt-mark hold redaction-system

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

dnf --showduplicates list redaction-system sudo dnf downgrade redaction-system-<VERSION_BEFORE_1.0000> sudo dnf versionlock add redaction-system

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.
