ryansu simple admin UPGRADE

Affected: >= 1.2.0 and <= 1.6.7

Fixed in: newer than 1.6.7

Safe to downgrade to: a release before 1.2.0

1. Check installed version

apt-cache policy simple-admin || rpm -q simple-admin || simple-admin --version

2. UPGRADE to newer than 1.6.7 (Debian / Ubuntu)

sudo apt update && sudo apt install --only-upgrade simple-admin

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 1.2.0 (Debian / Ubuntu)

apt-cache madison simple-admin sudo apt install simple-admin=<VERSION_BEFORE_1.2.0> sudo apt-mark hold simple-admin

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

dnf --showduplicates list simple-admin sudo dnf downgrade simple-admin-<VERSION_BEFORE_1.2.0> sudo dnf versionlock add simple-admin

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.
