pragmamx pragmamx UPGRADE

Affected: >= 1.0 and < 1.12.2

Fixed in: 1.12.2

Safe to downgrade to: a release before 1.0

1. Check installed version

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

2. UPGRADE to 1.12.2 (Debian / Ubuntu)

sudo apt update && sudo apt install --only-upgrade pragmamx

2. UPGRADE (RHEL / Amazon Linux / Fedora)

sudo dnf upgrade pragmamx

Note

Distros often backport fixes without changing the version number. Confirm with the distro advisory or changelog.

3. If no update is available yet, DOWNGRADE to a release before 1.0 (Debian / Ubuntu)

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

3. If no update is available yet, DOWNGRADE (RHEL / Amazon Linux / Fedora)

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

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.
