syscomgo omflow UPGRADE

Affected: >= 1.1.6.0 and < 1.2.1.3

Fixed in: 1.2.1.3

Safe to downgrade to: a release before 1.1.6.0

1. Check installed version

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

2. UPGRADE to 1.2.1.3 (Debian / Ubuntu)

sudo apt update && sudo apt install --only-upgrade omflow

2. UPGRADE (RHEL / Amazon Linux / Fedora)

sudo dnf upgrade omflow

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 1.1.6.0 (Debian / Ubuntu)

apt-cache madison omflow sudo apt install omflow=<VERSION_BEFORE_1.1.6.0> sudo apt-mark hold omflow

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

dnf --showduplicates list omflow sudo dnf downgrade omflow-<VERSION_BEFORE_1.1.6.0> sudo dnf versionlock add omflow

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.
