eigentech natural language processing DOWNGRADE

Affected: 3.10.1

Fixed in: no fixed release known

Safe to downgrade to: a release before 3.10.1

1. Check installed version

apt-cache policy natural-language-processing || rpm -q natural-language-processing || natural-language-processing --version

2. No fixed release: DOWNGRADE to a release before 3.10.1 (Debian / Ubuntu)

apt-cache madison natural-language-processing sudo apt install natural-language-processing=<VERSION_BEFORE_3.10.1> sudo apt-mark hold natural-language-processing

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

dnf --showduplicates list natural-language-processing sudo dnf downgrade natural-language-processing-<VERSION_BEFORE_3.10.1> sudo dnf versionlock add natural-language-processing

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.
