owl intranet knowledgebase DOWNGRADE

Affected: 1.10

Fixed in: no fixed release known

Safe to downgrade to: a release before 1.10

1. Check installed version

apt-cache policy intranet-knowledgebase || rpm -q intranet-knowledgebase || intranet-knowledgebase --version

2. No fixed release: DOWNGRADE to a release before 1.10 (Debian / Ubuntu)

apt-cache madison intranet-knowledgebase sudo apt install intranet-knowledgebase=<VERSION_BEFORE_1.10> sudo apt-mark hold intranet-knowledgebase

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

dnf --showduplicates list intranet-knowledgebase sudo dnf downgrade intranet-knowledgebase-<VERSION_BEFORE_1.10> sudo dnf versionlock add intranet-knowledgebase

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.
