djl deep java library DOWNGRADE

Affected: 0.26.0

Fixed in: no fixed release known

Safe to downgrade to: a release before 0.26.0

1. Check installed version

apt-cache policy deep-java-library || rpm -q deep-java-library || deep-java-library --version

2. No fixed release: DOWNGRADE to a release before 0.26.0 (Debian / Ubuntu)

apt-cache madison deep-java-library sudo apt install deep-java-library=<VERSION_BEFORE_0.26.0> sudo apt-mark hold deep-java-library

2. No fixed release: DOWNGRADE (RHEL / Amazon Linux / Fedora)

dnf --showduplicates list deep-java-library sudo dnf downgrade deep-java-library-<VERSION_BEFORE_0.26.0> sudo dnf versionlock add deep-java-library

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.
