splunk ai toolkit UPGRADE

Affected: >= 5.7.0 and < 6.0.1

Fixed in: 6.0.1

Safe to downgrade to: a release before 5.7.0

1. Check installed version

apt-cache policy ai-toolkit || rpm -q ai-toolkit || ai-toolkit --version

2. UPGRADE to 6.0.1 (Debian / Ubuntu)

sudo apt update && sudo apt install --only-upgrade ai-toolkit

2. UPGRADE (RHEL / Amazon Linux / Fedora)

sudo dnf upgrade ai-toolkit

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 5.7.0 (Debian / Ubuntu)

apt-cache madison ai-toolkit sudo apt install ai-toolkit=<VERSION_BEFORE_5.7.0> sudo apt-mark hold ai-toolkit

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

dnf --showduplicates list ai-toolkit sudo dnf downgrade ai-toolkit-<VERSION_BEFORE_5.7.0> sudo dnf versionlock add ai-toolkit

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.
