tortoise orm project tortoise orm UPGRADE

Affected: < 0.15.23 · >= 0.16.0 and < 0.16.6

Fixed in: 0.15.23, 0.16.6

Safe to downgrade to: a release before 0.16.0

1. Check installed version

apt-cache policy tortoise-orm || rpm -q tortoise-orm || tortoise-orm --version

2. UPGRADE to 0.15.23 (Debian / Ubuntu)

sudo apt update && sudo apt install --only-upgrade tortoise-orm

2. UPGRADE (RHEL / Amazon Linux / Fedora)

sudo dnf upgrade tortoise-orm

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 0.16.0 (Debian / Ubuntu)

apt-cache madison tortoise-orm sudo apt install tortoise-orm=<VERSION_BEFORE_0.16.0> sudo apt-mark hold tortoise-orm

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

dnf --showduplicates list tortoise-orm sudo dnf downgrade tortoise-orm-<VERSION_BEFORE_0.16.0> sudo dnf versionlock add tortoise-orm

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.
