dnf --showduplicates list animate sudo dnf downgrade animate-<VERSION_BEFORE_23.0.0> sudo dnf versionlock add animate

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.
