codem-transcode project codem-transcode DOWNGRADE

Affected: 0.4.1 · 0.4.2 · 0.4.3 · 0.4.4 · 0.5.0 beta1 · 0.5.0 beta2 · 0.5.0 beta3 · 0.5.0 beta4

Fixed in: no fixed release known

Safe to downgrade to: a release before 0.4.1

1. Check installed version

apt-cache policy codem-transcode || rpm -q codem-transcode || codem-transcode --version

2. No fixed release: DOWNGRADE to a release before 0.4.1 (Debian / Ubuntu)

apt-cache madison codem-transcode sudo apt install codem-transcode=<VERSION_BEFORE_0.4.1> sudo apt-mark hold codem-transcode

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

dnf --showduplicates list codem-transcode sudo dnf downgrade codem-transcode-<VERSION_BEFORE_0.4.1> sudo dnf versionlock add codem-transcode

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.
