linkit project linkit UPGRADE

Affected: >= 7.x-1.0 and < 7.x-2.7 · >= 7.x-3.0 and < 7.x-3.3

Fixed in: 7.x-2.7, 7.x-3.3

Safe to downgrade to: a release before 7.x-1.0

2. UPGRADE to 7.x-2.7 (Debian / Ubuntu)

sudo apt update && sudo apt install --only-upgrade linkit

2. UPGRADE (RHEL / Amazon Linux / Fedora)

sudo dnf upgrade linkit

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 7.x-1.0 (Debian / Ubuntu)

apt-cache madison linkit sudo apt install linkit=<VERSION_BEFORE_7.x-1.0> sudo apt-mark hold linkit

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

dnf --showduplicates list linkit sudo dnf downgrade linkit-<VERSION_BEFORE_7.x-1.0> sudo dnf versionlock add linkit

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.
