plextrac plextrac UPGRADE

Affected: >= 1.61.3 and < 2.8.1

Fixed in: 2.8.1

Safe to downgrade to: a release before 1.61.3

1. Check installed version

apt-cache policy plextrac || rpm -q plextrac || plextrac --version

2. UPGRADE to 2.8.1 (Debian / Ubuntu)

sudo apt update && sudo apt install --only-upgrade plextrac

2. UPGRADE (RHEL / Amazon Linux / Fedora)

sudo dnf upgrade plextrac

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 1.61.3 (Debian / Ubuntu)

apt-cache madison plextrac sudo apt install plextrac=<VERSION_BEFORE_1.61.3> sudo apt-mark hold plextrac

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

dnf --showduplicates list plextrac sudo dnf downgrade plextrac-<VERSION_BEFORE_1.61.3> sudo dnf versionlock add plextrac

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.
