citilog citilog DOWNGRADE

Affected: 8.0

Fixed in: no fixed release known

Safe to downgrade to: a release before 8.0

1. Check installed version

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

2. No fixed release: DOWNGRADE to a release before 8.0 (Debian / Ubuntu)

apt-cache madison citilog sudo apt install citilog=<VERSION_BEFORE_8.0> sudo apt-mark hold citilog

2. No fixed release: DOWNGRADE (RHEL / Amazon Linux / Fedora)

dnf --showduplicates list citilog sudo dnf downgrade citilog-<VERSION_BEFORE_8.0> sudo dnf versionlock add citilog

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.
