ipswitch moveit transfer UPGRADE

Affected: >= 11.1 and < 11.1.3

Fixed in: 11.1.3

Safe to downgrade to: a release before 11.1

1. Check installed version

apt-cache policy moveit-transfer || rpm -q moveit-transfer || moveit-transfer --version

2. UPGRADE to 11.1.3 (Debian / Ubuntu)

sudo apt update && sudo apt install --only-upgrade moveit-transfer

2. UPGRADE (RHEL / Amazon Linux / Fedora)

sudo dnf upgrade moveit-transfer

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 11.1 (Debian / Ubuntu)

apt-cache madison moveit-transfer sudo apt install moveit-transfer=<VERSION_BEFORE_11.1> sudo apt-mark hold moveit-transfer

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

dnf --showduplicates list moveit-transfer sudo dnf downgrade moveit-transfer-<VERSION_BEFORE_11.1> sudo dnf versionlock add moveit-transfer

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.
