Safe to downgrade to: a release before 25.2.14524.3

1. Check installed version

apt-cache policy m-files-server || rpm -q m-files-server || m-files-server --version

2. UPGRADE to 24.8.13981.16 (Debian / Ubuntu)

sudo apt update && sudo apt install --only-upgrade m-files-server

2. UPGRADE (RHEL / Amazon Linux / Fedora)

sudo dnf upgrade m-files-server

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 25.2.14524.3 (Debian / Ubuntu)

apt-cache madison m-files-server sudo apt install m-files-server=<VERSION_BEFORE_25.2.14524.3> sudo apt-mark hold m-files-server

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

dnf --showduplicates list m-files-server sudo dnf downgrade m-files-server-<VERSION_BEFORE_25.2.14524.3> sudo dnf versionlock add m-files-server

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.
