nintex automation UPGRADE

Affected: >= 5.6 and < 5.8

Fixed in: 5.8

Safe to downgrade to: a release before 5.6

1. Check installed version

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

2. UPGRADE to 5.8 (Debian / Ubuntu)

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

2. UPGRADE (RHEL / Amazon Linux / Fedora)

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 5.6 (Debian / Ubuntu)

apt-cache madison automation sudo apt install automation=<VERSION_BEFORE_5.6> sudo apt-mark hold automation

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

dnf --showduplicates list automation sudo dnf downgrade automation-<VERSION_BEFORE_5.6> sudo dnf versionlock add automation

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.
