br-automation industrial automation aprol UPGRADE

Affected: <= r4.2-07p3 · >= r4.3-00p3 and <= r4.4-00p3

Fixed in: newer than r4.4-00p3

Safe to downgrade to: a release before r4.3-00p3

1. Check installed version

apt-cache policy industrial-automation-aprol || rpm -q industrial-automation-aprol || industrial-automation-aprol --version

2. UPGRADE to newer than r4.4-00p3 (Debian / Ubuntu)

sudo apt update && sudo apt install --only-upgrade industrial-automation-aprol

2. UPGRADE (RHEL / Amazon Linux / Fedora)

sudo dnf upgrade industrial-automation-aprol

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 r4.3-00p3 (Debian / Ubuntu)

apt-cache madison industrial-automation-aprol sudo apt install industrial-automation-aprol=<VERSION_BEFORE_r4.3-00p3> sudo apt-mark hold industrial-automation-aprol

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

dnf --showduplicates list industrial-automation-aprol sudo dnf downgrade industrial-automation-aprol-<VERSION_BEFORE_r4.3-00p3> sudo dnf versionlock add industrial-automation-aprol

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.
