blackberry qnx software development platform UPGRADE

Affected: >= 6.6.0 and < 8.0

Fixed in: 8.0

Safe to downgrade to: a release before 6.6.0

1. Check installed version

apt-cache policy qnx-software-development-platform || rpm -q qnx-software-development-platform || qnx-software-development-platform --version

2. UPGRADE to 8.0 (Debian / Ubuntu)

sudo apt update && sudo apt install --only-upgrade qnx-software-development-platform

2. UPGRADE (RHEL / Amazon Linux / Fedora)

sudo dnf upgrade qnx-software-development-platform

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 6.6.0 (Debian / Ubuntu)

apt-cache madison qnx-software-development-platform sudo apt install qnx-software-development-platform=<VERSION_BEFORE_6.6.0> sudo apt-mark hold qnx-software-development-platform

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

dnf --showduplicates list qnx-software-development-platform sudo dnf downgrade qnx-software-development-platform-<VERSION_BEFORE_6.6.0> sudo dnf versionlock add qnx-software-development-platform

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.
