robotemi temi UPGRADE

Affected: >= 1.3.3 and <= 1.3.7931

Fixed in: newer than 1.3.7931

Safe to downgrade to: a release before 1.3.3

1. Check installed version

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

2. UPGRADE to newer than 1.3.7931 (Debian / Ubuntu)

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

2. UPGRADE (RHEL / Amazon Linux / Fedora)

sudo dnf upgrade temi

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 1.3.3 (Debian / Ubuntu)

apt-cache madison temi sudo apt install temi=<VERSION_BEFORE_1.3.3> sudo apt-mark hold temi

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

dnf --showduplicates list temi sudo dnf downgrade temi-<VERSION_BEFORE_1.3.3> sudo dnf versionlock add temi

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.
