Note

Distros often backport fixes without changing the version number. Confirm with the distro advisory or changelog.

apt-cache madison teamcity sudo apt install teamcity=<VERSION_BEFORE_2026.1> sudo apt-mark hold teamcity

dnf --showduplicates list teamcity sudo dnf downgrade teamcity-<VERSION_BEFORE_2026.1> sudo dnf versionlock add teamcity

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
