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 7.0 (Debian / Ubuntu)

apt-cache madison qnx-software-development-platform sudo apt install qnx-software-development-platform=<VERSION_BEFORE_7.0> sudo apt-mark hold qnx-software-development-platform

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