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

2. UPGRADE to 13.1.4 (Debian / Ubuntu)

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

2. UPGRADE (RHEL / Amazon Linux / Fedora)

sudo dnf upgrade jetpack

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 13.0 (Debian / Ubuntu)

apt-cache madison jetpack sudo apt install jetpack=<VERSION_BEFORE_13.0> sudo apt-mark hold jetpack

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

dnf --showduplicates list jetpack sudo dnf downgrade jetpack-<VERSION_BEFORE_13.0> sudo dnf versionlock add jetpack

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.
