ibm analytics content hub UPGRADE

Affected: >= 2.0 and < 2.3

Fixed in: 2.3

Safe to downgrade to: a release before 2.0

1. Check installed version

apt-cache policy analytics-content-hub || rpm -q analytics-content-hub || analytics-content-hub --version

2. UPGRADE to 2.3 (Debian / Ubuntu)

sudo apt update && sudo apt install --only-upgrade analytics-content-hub

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 2.0 (Debian / Ubuntu)

apt-cache madison analytics-content-hub sudo apt install analytics-content-hub=<VERSION_BEFORE_2.0> sudo apt-mark hold analytics-content-hub

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

dnf --showduplicates list analytics-content-hub sudo dnf downgrade analytics-content-hub-<VERSION_BEFORE_2.0> sudo dnf versionlock add analytics-content-hub

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.
