minbrowser min DOWNGRADE

Affected: 1.29.0

Fixed in: no fixed release known

Safe to downgrade to: a release before 1.29.0

1. Check installed version

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

2. No fixed release: DOWNGRADE to a release before 1.29.0 (Debian / Ubuntu)

apt-cache madison min sudo apt install min=<VERSION_BEFORE_1.29.0> sudo apt-mark hold min

dnf --showduplicates list min sudo dnf downgrade min-<VERSION_BEFORE_1.29.0> sudo dnf versionlock add min

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.
