habitica habitica UPGRADE

Affected: >= 4.119.0 and < 4.233.0

Fixed in: 4.233.0

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 4.119.0 (Debian / Ubuntu)

apt-cache madison habitica sudo apt install habitica=<VERSION_BEFORE_4.119.0> sudo apt-mark hold habitica

dnf --showduplicates list habitica sudo dnf downgrade habitica-<VERSION_BEFORE_4.119.0> sudo dnf versionlock add habitica

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.
