modelscope agentscope DOWNGRADE

Affected: 0.0.4

Fixed in: no fixed release known

Safe to downgrade to: a release before 0.0.4

1. Check installed version

apt-cache policy agentscope || rpm -q agentscope || agentscope --version

2. No fixed release: DOWNGRADE to a release before 0.0.4 (Debian / Ubuntu)

apt-cache madison agentscope sudo apt install agentscope=<VERSION_BEFORE_0.0.4> sudo apt-mark hold agentscope

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

dnf --showduplicates list agentscope sudo dnf downgrade agentscope-<VERSION_BEFORE_0.0.4> sudo dnf versionlock add agentscope

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.
