mongodb bi connector UPGRADE

Affected: >= 2.12.0 and < 2.14.30

Fixed in: 2.14.30

Safe to downgrade to: a release before 2.12.0

1. Check installed version

apt-cache policy bi-connector || rpm -q bi-connector || bi-connector --version

2. UPGRADE to 2.14.30 (Debian / Ubuntu)

sudo apt update && sudo apt install --only-upgrade bi-connector

2. UPGRADE (RHEL / Amazon Linux / Fedora)

sudo dnf upgrade bi-connector

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 2.12.0 (Debian / Ubuntu)

apt-cache madison bi-connector sudo apt install bi-connector=<VERSION_BEFORE_2.12.0> sudo apt-mark hold bi-connector

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

dnf --showduplicates list bi-connector sudo dnf downgrade bi-connector-<VERSION_BEFORE_2.12.0> sudo dnf versionlock add bi-connector

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.
