1. Check installed version

apt-cache policy dynamic-content-elements || rpm -q dynamic-content-elements || dynamic-content-elements --version

2. UPGRADE to 0.11.5 (Debian / Ubuntu)

sudo apt update && sudo apt install --only-upgrade dynamic-content-elements

2. UPGRADE (RHEL / Amazon Linux / Fedora)

sudo dnf upgrade dynamic-content-elements

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 0.7.0 (Debian / Ubuntu)

apt-cache madison dynamic-content-elements sudo apt install dynamic-content-elements=<VERSION_BEFORE_0.7.0> sudo apt-mark hold dynamic-content-elements

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

dnf --showduplicates list dynamic-content-elements sudo dnf downgrade dynamic-content-elements-<VERSION_BEFORE_0.7.0> sudo dnf versionlock add dynamic-content-elements

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.
