sonatype nexus repository manager UPGRADE

Affected: >= 3.1.0 and < 3.93.0

Fixed in: 3.93.0

Safe to downgrade to: a release before 3.1.0

1. Check installed version

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 3.1.0 (Debian / Ubuntu)

apt-cache madison nexus-repository-manager sudo apt install nexus-repository-manager=<VERSION_BEFORE_3.1.0> sudo apt-mark hold nexus-repository-manager

dnf --showduplicates list nexus-repository-manager sudo dnf downgrade nexus-repository-manager-<VERSION_BEFORE_3.1.0> sudo dnf versionlock add nexus-repository-manager

Downgrade risk
