apt-cache policy rocket.chat || rpm -q rocket.chat || rocket.chat --version

2. UPGRADE to 7.10.10 (Debian / Ubuntu)

sudo apt update && sudo apt install --only-upgrade rocket.chat

2. UPGRADE (RHEL / Amazon Linux / Fedora)

sudo dnf upgrade rocket.chat

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 7.10.0 (Debian / Ubuntu)

apt-cache madison rocket.chat sudo apt install rocket.chat=<VERSION_BEFORE_7.10.0> sudo apt-mark hold rocket.chat

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

dnf --showduplicates list rocket.chat sudo dnf downgrade rocket.chat-<VERSION_BEFORE_7.10.0> sudo dnf versionlock add rocket.chat

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.
