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 5.2.3.0 (Debian / Ubuntu)

apt-cache madison storage-scale sudo apt install storage-scale=<VERSION_BEFORE_5.2.3.0> sudo apt-mark hold storage-scale

dnf --showduplicates list storage-scale sudo dnf downgrade storage-scale-<VERSION_BEFORE_5.2.3.0> sudo dnf versionlock add storage-scale

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.
