kolide fleet UPGRADE

Affected: >= 2.0.2 and <= 2.1.1

Fixed in: newer than 2.1.1

Safe to downgrade to: a release before 2.0.2

1. Check installed version

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

2. UPGRADE to newer than 2.1.1 (Debian / Ubuntu)

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

2. UPGRADE (RHEL / Amazon Linux / Fedora)

sudo dnf upgrade fleet

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 2.0.2 (Debian / Ubuntu)

apt-cache madison fleet sudo apt install fleet=<VERSION_BEFORE_2.0.2> sudo apt-mark hold fleet

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

dnf --showduplicates list fleet sudo dnf downgrade fleet-<VERSION_BEFORE_2.0.2> sudo dnf versionlock add fleet

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.
