3. If no update is available yet, DOWNGRADE to a release before 1.0.4 (Debian / Ubuntu)

apt-cache madison scout-gps-link sudo apt install scout-gps-link=<VERSION_BEFORE_1.0.4> sudo apt-mark hold scout-gps-link

dnf --showduplicates list scout-gps-link sudo dnf downgrade scout-gps-link-<VERSION_BEFORE_1.0.4> sudo dnf versionlock add scout-gps-link

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.
