composio composio DOWNGRADE

Affected: 0.4.3

Fixed in: no fixed release known

Safe to downgrade to: a release before 0.4.3

1. Check installed version

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

2. No fixed release: DOWNGRADE to a release before 0.4.3 (Debian / Ubuntu)

apt-cache madison composio sudo apt install composio=<VERSION_BEFORE_0.4.3> sudo apt-mark hold composio

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

dnf --showduplicates list composio sudo dnf downgrade composio-<VERSION_BEFORE_0.4.3> sudo dnf versionlock add composio

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.

Exact fixes by distribution

A distro patch exists: prefer upgrading over downgrading.
