ibm engineering lifecycle optimization publishing DOWNGRADE

Affected: 7.0.2 · 7.0.3

Fixed in: no fixed release known

Safe to downgrade to: a release before 7.0.2

1. Check installed version

apt-cache policy engineering-lifecycle-optimization-publishing || rpm -q engineering-lifecycle-optimization-publishing || engineering-lifecycle-optimization-publishing --version

2. No fixed release: DOWNGRADE to a release before 7.0.2 (Debian / Ubuntu)

apt-cache madison engineering-lifecycle-optimization-publishing sudo apt install engineering-lifecycle-optimization-publishing=<VERSION_BEFORE_7.0.2> sudo apt-mark hold engineering-lifecycle-optimization-publishing

2. No fixed release: DOWNGRADE (RHEL / Amazon Linux / Fedora)

dnf --showduplicates list engineering-lifecycle-optimization-publishing sudo dnf downgrade engineering-lifecycle-optimization-publishing-<VERSION_BEFORE_7.0.2> sudo dnf versionlock add engineering-lifecycle-optimization-publishing

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.
