canonical juju UPGRADE

Affected: >= 2.9 and <= 2.9.55 · >= 3.6 and <= 3.6.18

Fixed in: newer than 3.6.18

Safe to downgrade to: a release before 2.9

1. Check installed version

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

2. UPGRADE to newer than 3.6.18 (Debian / Ubuntu)

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

2. UPGRADE (RHEL / Amazon Linux / Fedora)

sudo dnf upgrade juju

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 2.9 (Debian / Ubuntu)

apt-cache madison juju sudo apt install juju=<VERSION_BEFORE_2.9> sudo apt-mark hold juju

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

dnf --showduplicates list juju sudo dnf downgrade juju-<VERSION_BEFORE_2.9> sudo dnf versionlock add juju

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.
