reposilite reposilite UPGRADE

Affected: >= 3.3.0 and < 3.5.12

Fixed in: 3.5.12

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 3.3.0 (Debian / Ubuntu)

apt-cache madison reposilite sudo apt install reposilite=<VERSION_BEFORE_3.3.0> sudo apt-mark hold reposilite

dnf --showduplicates list reposilite sudo dnf downgrade reposilite-<VERSION_BEFORE_3.3.0> sudo dnf versionlock add reposilite

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.
