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 1.0.02 (Debian / Ubuntu)

apt-cache madison printer-driver-packager-nx sudo apt install printer-driver-packager-nx=<VERSION_BEFORE_1.0.02> sudo apt-mark hold printer-driver-packager-nx

dnf --showduplicates list printer-driver-packager-nx sudo dnf downgrade printer-driver-packager-nx-<VERSION_BEFORE_1.0.02> sudo dnf versionlock add printer-driver-packager-nx

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.
