rttys project rttys UPGRADE

Affected: >= 4.0.0 and <= 4.0.2

Fixed in: newer than 4.0.2

Safe to downgrade to: a release before 4.0.0

1. Check installed version

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

2. UPGRADE to newer than 4.0.2 (Debian / Ubuntu)

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

2. UPGRADE (RHEL / Amazon Linux / Fedora)

sudo dnf upgrade rttys

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 4.0.0 (Debian / Ubuntu)

apt-cache madison rttys sudo apt install rttys=<VERSION_BEFORE_4.0.0> sudo apt-mark hold rttys

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

dnf --showduplicates list rttys sudo dnf downgrade rttys-<VERSION_BEFORE_4.0.0> sudo dnf versionlock add rttys

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.
