xmlbundle project xmlbundle DOWNGRADE

Affected: 0.1.7

Fixed in: no fixed release known

Safe to downgrade to: a release before 0.1.7

1. Check installed version

apt-cache policy xmlbundle || rpm -q xmlbundle || xmlbundle --version

2. No fixed release: DOWNGRADE to a release before 0.1.7 (Debian / Ubuntu)

apt-cache madison xmlbundle sudo apt install xmlbundle=<VERSION_BEFORE_0.1.7> sudo apt-mark hold xmlbundle

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

dnf --showduplicates list xmlbundle sudo dnf downgrade xmlbundle-<VERSION_BEFORE_0.1.7> sudo dnf versionlock add xmlbundle

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.
