pc soft windev DOWNGRADE

Affected: 11

Fixed in: no fixed release known

Safe to downgrade to: a release before 11

1. Check installed version

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

2. No fixed release: DOWNGRADE to a release before 11 (Debian / Ubuntu)

apt-cache madison windev sudo apt install windev=<VERSION_BEFORE_11> sudo apt-mark hold windev

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

dnf --showduplicates list windev sudo dnf downgrade windev-<VERSION_BEFORE_11> sudo dnf versionlock add windev

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.
