status powerbpm DOWNGRADE

Affected: 2.0

Fixed in: no fixed release known

Safe to downgrade to: a release before 2.0

1. Check installed version

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

2. No fixed release: DOWNGRADE to a release before 2.0 (Debian / Ubuntu)

apt-cache madison powerbpm sudo apt install powerbpm=<VERSION_BEFORE_2.0> sudo apt-mark hold powerbpm

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

dnf --showduplicates list powerbpm sudo dnf downgrade powerbpm-<VERSION_BEFORE_2.0> sudo dnf versionlock add powerbpm

Downgrade risk

After downgrade

Restart the service, and keep the package held until a fixed release ships.
