microfocus operations agent UPGRADE

Affected: >= 12.20 and <= 12.25 · 12.15

Fixed in: newer than 12.25

Note

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

dnf --showduplicates list operations-agent sudo dnf downgrade operations-agent-<VERSION_BEFORE_12.15> sudo dnf versionlock add operations-agent

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.
