agilebio labcollector DOWNGRADE

Affected: 5.423

Fixed in: no fixed release known

Safe to downgrade to: a release before 5.423

1. Check installed version

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

2. No fixed release: DOWNGRADE to a release before 5.423 (Debian / Ubuntu)

apt-cache madison labcollector sudo apt install labcollector=<VERSION_BEFORE_5.423> sudo apt-mark hold labcollector

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

dnf --showduplicates list labcollector sudo dnf downgrade labcollector-<VERSION_BEFORE_5.423> sudo dnf versionlock add labcollector

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.
