autodesk autocad map 3d UPGRADE
Affected: >= 2022 and < 2022.1.5 · >= 2023 and < 2023.1.6 · >= 2024 and < 2024.1.5 · >= 2025 and < 2025.1
Fixed in: 2022.1.5, 2023.1.6, 2024.1.5, 2025.1
Safe to downgrade to: a release before 2022
1. Check installed version
apt-cache policy autocad-map-3d || rpm -q autocad-map-3d || autocad-map-3d --version
2. UPGRADE to 2022.1.5 (Debian / Ubuntu)
sudo apt update && sudo apt install --only-upgrade autocad-map-3d
2. UPGRADE (RHEL / Amazon Linux / Fedora)
sudo dnf upgrade autocad-map-3d
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 2022 (Debian / Ubuntu)
apt-cache madison autocad-map-3d
sudo apt install autocad-map-3d=<VERSION_BEFORE_2022>
sudo apt-mark hold autocad-map-3d
3. If no update is available yet, DOWNGRADE (RHEL / Amazon Linux / Fedora)
