pandorafms pandora fms UPGRADE

Affected: >= 700 and < 777.5

Fixed in: 777.5

Safe to downgrade to: a release before 700

1. Check installed version

apt-cache policy pandora-fms || rpm -q pandora-fms || pandora-fms --version

2. UPGRADE to 777.5 (Debian / Ubuntu)

sudo apt update && sudo apt install --only-upgrade pandora-fms

2. UPGRADE (RHEL / Amazon Linux / Fedora)

sudo dnf upgrade pandora-fms

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 700 (Debian / Ubuntu)

apt-cache madison pandora-fms sudo apt install pandora-fms=<VERSION_BEFORE_700> sudo apt-mark hold pandora-fms

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

dnf --showduplicates list pandora-fms sudo dnf downgrade pandora-fms-<VERSION_BEFORE_700> sudo dnf versionlock add pandora-fms

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.
