hcltech hcl leap UPGRADE

Affected: >= 9.0 and < 9.3.1

Fixed in: 9.3.1

Safe to downgrade to: a release before 9.0

1. Check installed version

apt-cache policy hcl-leap || rpm -q hcl-leap || hcl-leap --version

2. UPGRADE to 9.3.1 (Debian / Ubuntu)

sudo apt update && sudo apt install --only-upgrade hcl-leap

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 9.0 (Debian / Ubuntu)

apt-cache madison hcl-leap sudo apt install hcl-leap=<VERSION_BEFORE_9.0> sudo apt-mark hold hcl-leap

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

dnf --showduplicates list hcl-leap sudo dnf downgrade hcl-leap-<VERSION_BEFORE_9.0> sudo dnf versionlock add hcl-leap

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.
