Fixed in: newer than 23.26.2

Safe to downgrade to: a release before 19.3

1. Check installed version

apt-cache policy database-server || rpm -q database-server || database-server --version

2. UPGRADE to newer than 23.26.2 (Debian / Ubuntu)

sudo apt update && sudo apt install --only-upgrade database-server

2. UPGRADE (RHEL / Amazon Linux / Fedora)

sudo dnf upgrade database-server

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 19.3 (Debian / Ubuntu)

apt-cache madison database-server sudo apt install database-server=<VERSION_BEFORE_19.3> sudo apt-mark hold database-server

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

dnf --showduplicates list database-server sudo dnf downgrade database-server-<VERSION_BEFORE_19.3> sudo dnf versionlock add database-server

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.
