illumina local run manager UPGRADE

Affected: >= 1.3 and <= 3.1

Fixed in: newer than 3.1

Safe to downgrade to: a release before 1.3

1. Check installed version

apt-cache policy local-run-manager || rpm -q local-run-manager || local-run-manager --version

2. UPGRADE to newer than 3.1 (Debian / Ubuntu)

sudo apt update && sudo apt install --only-upgrade local-run-manager

2. UPGRADE (RHEL / Amazon Linux / Fedora)

sudo dnf upgrade local-run-manager

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 (Debian / Ubuntu)

apt-cache madison local-run-manager sudo apt install local-run-manager=<VERSION_BEFORE_1.3> sudo apt-mark hold local-run-manager

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

dnf --showduplicates list local-run-manager sudo dnf downgrade local-run-manager-<VERSION_BEFORE_1.3> sudo dnf versionlock add local-run-manager

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.
