plogger plogger DOWNGRADE

Affected: 1.0 rc1

Fixed in: no fixed release known

Safe to downgrade to: a release before 1.0

1. Check installed version

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

2. No fixed release: DOWNGRADE to a release before 1.0 (Debian / Ubuntu)

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

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

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

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.
