binary-husky gpt academic UPGRADE

Affected: >= 3.64-1 and < 3.74

Fixed in: 3.74

Safe to downgrade to: a release before 3.64-1

1. Check installed version

apt-cache policy gpt-academic || rpm -q gpt-academic || gpt-academic --version

2. UPGRADE to 3.74 (Debian / Ubuntu)

sudo apt update && sudo apt install --only-upgrade gpt-academic

2. UPGRADE (RHEL / Amazon Linux / Fedora)

sudo dnf upgrade gpt-academic

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 3.64-1 (Debian / Ubuntu)

apt-cache madison gpt-academic sudo apt install gpt-academic=<VERSION_BEFORE_3.64-1> sudo apt-mark hold gpt-academic

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

dnf --showduplicates list gpt-academic sudo dnf downgrade gpt-academic-<VERSION_BEFORE_3.64-1> sudo dnf versionlock add gpt-academic

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.
