forestryks process-sync DOWNGRADE

Affected: 0.2.2

Fixed in: no fixed release known

Safe to downgrade to: a release before 0.2.2

1. Check installed version

apt-cache policy process-sync || rpm -q process-sync || process-sync --version

2. No fixed release: DOWNGRADE to a release before 0.2.2 (Debian / Ubuntu)

apt-cache madison process-sync sudo apt install process-sync=<VERSION_BEFORE_0.2.2> sudo apt-mark hold process-sync

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

dnf --showduplicates list process-sync sudo dnf downgrade process-sync-<VERSION_BEFORE_0.2.2> sudo dnf versionlock add process-sync

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.
