mend curekit UPGRADE

Affected: >= 1.0.1 and <= 1.1.3

Fixed in: newer than 1.1.3

Safe to downgrade to: a release before 1.0.1

1. Check installed version

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

2. UPGRADE to newer than 1.1.3 (Debian / Ubuntu)

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

2. UPGRADE (RHEL / Amazon Linux / Fedora)

sudo dnf upgrade curekit

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 1.0.1 (Debian / Ubuntu)

apt-cache madison curekit sudo apt install curekit=<VERSION_BEFORE_1.0.1> sudo apt-mark hold curekit

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

dnf --showduplicates list curekit sudo dnf downgrade curekit-<VERSION_BEFORE_1.0.1> sudo dnf versionlock add curekit

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.
