carrier block load UPGRADE

Affected: >= 4.10 and <= 4.16 · 4.00

Fixed in: newer than 4.16

Safe to downgrade to: a release before 4.00

1. Check installed version

apt-cache policy block-load || rpm -q block-load || block-load --version

2. UPGRADE to newer than 4.16 (Debian / Ubuntu)

sudo apt update && sudo apt install --only-upgrade block-load

2. UPGRADE (RHEL / Amazon Linux / Fedora)

sudo dnf upgrade block-load

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 4.00 (Debian / Ubuntu)

apt-cache madison block-load sudo apt install block-load=<VERSION_BEFORE_4.00> sudo apt-mark hold block-load

3. If no update is available yet, DOWNGRADE (RHEL / Amazon Linux / Fedora)

dnf --showduplicates list block-load sudo dnf downgrade block-load-<VERSION_BEFORE_4.00> sudo dnf versionlock add block-load

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.
