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 4.1.0 (Debian / Ubuntu)

apt-cache madison faceted-search sudo apt install faceted-search=<VERSION_BEFORE_4.1.0> sudo apt-mark hold faceted-search

dnf --showduplicates list faceted-search sudo dnf downgrade faceted-search-<VERSION_BEFORE_4.1.0> sudo dnf versionlock add faceted-search

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.
