drupal nodequeue DOWNGRADE

Affected: 5.x-2.0-rc · 5.x-2.0_beta · 5.x-2.0_rc1 · 5.x-2.1 · 5.x-2.2 · 5.x-2.3 · 5.x-2.4 · 5.x-2.5

Fixed in: no fixed release known

Safe to downgrade to: a release before 5.x-2.0_beta

1. Check installed version

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

2. No fixed release: DOWNGRADE to a release before 5.x-2.0_beta (Debian / Ubuntu)

apt-cache madison nodequeue sudo apt install nodequeue=<VERSION_BEFORE_5.x-2.0_beta> sudo apt-mark hold nodequeue

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

dnf --showduplicates list nodequeue sudo dnf downgrade nodequeue-<VERSION_BEFORE_5.x-2.0_beta> sudo dnf versionlock add nodequeue

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.
