czim file-handling UPGRADE

Affected: < 1.5.0 · >= 2.0.0 and < 2.3.0

Fixed in: 1.5.0, 2.3.0

Safe to downgrade to: a release before 2.0.0

1. Check installed version

apt-cache policy file-handling || rpm -q file-handling || file-handling --version

2. UPGRADE to 1.5.0 (Debian / Ubuntu)

sudo apt update && sudo apt install --only-upgrade file-handling

2. UPGRADE (RHEL / Amazon Linux / Fedora)

sudo dnf upgrade file-handling

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 2.0.0 (Debian / Ubuntu)

apt-cache madison file-handling sudo apt install file-handling=<VERSION_BEFORE_2.0.0> sudo apt-mark hold file-handling

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

dnf --showduplicates list file-handling sudo dnf downgrade file-handling-<VERSION_BEFORE_2.0.0> sudo dnf versionlock add file-handling

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.
