elvexys streamx UPGRADE

Affected: >= 6.02.01 and <= 6.04.34

Fixed in: newer than 6.04.34

Safe to downgrade to: a release before 6.02.01

1. Check installed version

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

2. UPGRADE to newer than 6.04.34 (Debian / Ubuntu)

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

2. UPGRADE (RHEL / Amazon Linux / Fedora)

sudo dnf upgrade streamx

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 6.02.01 (Debian / Ubuntu)

apt-cache madison streamx sudo apt install streamx=<VERSION_BEFORE_6.02.01> sudo apt-mark hold streamx

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

dnf --showduplicates list streamx sudo dnf downgrade streamx-<VERSION_BEFORE_6.02.01> sudo dnf versionlock add streamx

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.
