infoware mapsuite UPGRADE

Affected: >= 1.0 and < 1.0.36 · >= 1.1.0 and < 1.1.49

Fixed in: 1.0.36, 1.1.49

Safe to downgrade to: a release before 1.0

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 mapsuite sudo apt install mapsuite=<VERSION_BEFORE_1.0> sudo apt-mark hold mapsuite

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

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

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.
