Fixed in: 4.0.11.0
Safe to downgrade to: a release before 4.0.6.0
1. Check installed version
apt-cache policy financial-transaction-manager || rpm -q financial-transaction-manager || financial-transaction-manager --version
2. UPGRADE to 4.0.11.0 (Debian / Ubuntu)
sudo apt update && sudo apt install --only-upgrade financial-transaction-manager
2. UPGRADE (RHEL / Amazon Linux / Fedora)
sudo dnf upgrade financial-transaction-manager
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 4.0.6.0 (Debian / Ubuntu)
apt-cache madison financial-transaction-manager sudo apt install financial-transaction-manager=<VERSION_BEFORE_4.0.6.0> sudo apt-mark hold financial-transaction-manager
3. If no update is available yet, DOWNGRADE (RHEL / Amazon Linux / Fedora)
dnf --showduplicates list financial-transaction-manager sudo dnf downgrade financial-transaction-manager-<VERSION_BEFORE_4.0.6.0> sudo dnf versionlock add financial-transaction-manager
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.
