aitsys discatsharp UPGRADE

Affected: >= 9.8.5 and < 9.9.1

Fixed in: 9.9.1

Safe to downgrade to: a release before 9.8.5

1. Check installed version

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

2. UPGRADE to 9.9.1 (Debian / Ubuntu)

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

2. UPGRADE (RHEL / Amazon Linux / Fedora)

sudo dnf upgrade discatsharp

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 9.8.5 (Debian / Ubuntu)

apt-cache madison discatsharp sudo apt install discatsharp=<VERSION_BEFORE_9.8.5> sudo apt-mark hold discatsharp

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

dnf --showduplicates list discatsharp sudo dnf downgrade discatsharp-<VERSION_BEFORE_9.8.5> sudo dnf versionlock add discatsharp

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.
