pypi cloudlabeling DOWNGRADE

Affected: 0.0.1

Fixed in: no fixed release known

Safe to downgrade to: a release before 0.0.1

1. Check installed version

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

2. No fixed release: DOWNGRADE to a release before 0.0.1 (Debian / Ubuntu)

apt-cache madison cloudlabeling sudo apt install cloudlabeling=<VERSION_BEFORE_0.0.1> sudo apt-mark hold cloudlabeling

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

dnf --showduplicates list cloudlabeling sudo dnf downgrade cloudlabeling-<VERSION_BEFORE_0.0.1> sudo dnf versionlock add cloudlabeling

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.
