apt-cache madison sureforms sudo apt install sureforms=<VERSION_BEFORE_0.0.2> sudo apt-mark hold sureforms

dnf --showduplicates list sureforms sudo dnf downgrade sureforms-<VERSION_BEFORE_0.0.2> sudo dnf versionlock add sureforms

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.
