Timeline

ibm robotic process automation UPGRADE
Affected: >= 21.0.0 and <= 21.0.7.20 · >= 23.0.0 and <= 23.0.20
Fixed in: newer than 23.0.20
Safe to downgrade to: a release before 21.0.0
1. Check installed version
apt-cache policy robotic-process-automation || rpm -q robotic-process-automation || robotic-process-automation --version
2. UPGRADE to newer than 23.0.20 (Debian / Ubuntu)
sudo apt update && sudo apt install --only-upgrade robotic-process-automation
2. UPGRADE (RHEL / Amazon Linux / Fedora)
sudo dnf upgrade robotic-process-automation
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 21.0.0 (Debian / Ubuntu)
apt-cache madison robotic-process-automation sudo apt install robotic-process-automation=<VERSION_BEFORE_21.0.0> sudo apt-mark hold robotic-process-automation
3. If no update is available yet, DOWNGRADE (RHEL / Amazon Linux / Fedora)
dnf --showduplicates list robotic-process-automation sudo dnf downgrade robotic-process-automation-<VERSION_BEFORE_21.0.0> sudo dnf versionlock add robotic-process-automation
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.
