tobesoft nexacro UPGRADE

Affected: >= 17.0.0 and < 17.1.3.700

Fixed in: 17.1.3.700

Safe to downgrade to: a release before 17.0.0

1. Check installed version

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

2. UPGRADE to 17.1.3.700 (Debian / Ubuntu)

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

2. UPGRADE (RHEL / Amazon Linux / Fedora)

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 17.0.0 (Debian / Ubuntu)

apt-cache madison nexacro sudo apt install nexacro=<VERSION_BEFORE_17.0.0> sudo apt-mark hold nexacro

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

dnf --showduplicates list nexacro sudo dnf downgrade nexacro-<VERSION_BEFORE_17.0.0> sudo dnf versionlock add nexacro

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.
