mgt-commerce cloudpanel UPGRADE

Affected: >= 2.0.0 and <= 2.3.2

Fixed in: newer than 2.3.2

Safe to downgrade to: a release before 2.0.0

1. Check installed version

Note

Distros often backport fixes without changing the version number. Confirm with the distro advisory or changelog.

dnf --showduplicates list cloudpanel sudo dnf downgrade cloudpanel-<VERSION_BEFORE_2.0.0> sudo dnf versionlock add cloudpanel

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.
