chris desautels node parameter control DOWNGRADE

Affected: 6.x-1.0

Fixed in: no fixed release known

Safe to downgrade to: a release before 6.x-1.0

1. Check installed version

apt-cache policy node-parameter-control || rpm -q node-parameter-control || node-parameter-control --version

2. No fixed release: DOWNGRADE to a release before 6.x-1.0 (Debian / Ubuntu)

apt-cache madison node-parameter-control sudo apt install node-parameter-control=<VERSION_BEFORE_6.x-1.0> sudo apt-mark hold node-parameter-control

dnf --showduplicates list node-parameter-control sudo dnf downgrade node-parameter-control-<VERSION_BEFORE_6.x-1.0> sudo dnf versionlock add node-parameter-control

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.
