alf-banco alf-banco UPGRADE

Affected: >= 8.2.3 and <= 8.2.5

Fixed in: newer than 8.2.5

Safe to downgrade to: a release before 8.2.3

1. Check installed version

apt-cache policy alf-banco || rpm -q alf-banco || alf-banco --version

2. UPGRADE to newer than 8.2.5 (Debian / Ubuntu)

sudo apt update && sudo apt install --only-upgrade alf-banco

2. UPGRADE (RHEL / Amazon Linux / Fedora)

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 8.2.3 (Debian / Ubuntu)

apt-cache madison alf-banco sudo apt install alf-banco=<VERSION_BEFORE_8.2.3> sudo apt-mark hold alf-banco

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

dnf --showduplicates list alf-banco sudo dnf downgrade alf-banco-<VERSION_BEFORE_8.2.3> sudo dnf versionlock add alf-banco

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.
