autodesk revit UPGRADE
Affected: >= 2024 and < 2024.3.6 · >= 2025 and < 2025.4.6 · >= 2026 and < 2026.5 · >= 2027 and < 2027.2
Fixed in: 2024.3.6, 2025.4.6, 2026.5, 2027.2
Safe to downgrade to: a release before 2024
1. Check installed version
apt-cache policy revit || rpm -q revit || revit --version
2. UPGRADE to 2024.3.6 (Debian / Ubuntu)
sudo apt update && sudo apt install --only-upgrade revit
2. UPGRADE (RHEL / Amazon Linux / Fedora)
sudo dnf upgrade revit
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 2024 (Debian / Ubuntu)
apt-cache madison revit
sudo apt install revit=<VERSION_BEFORE_2024>
sudo apt-mark hold revit
3. If no update is available yet, DOWNGRADE (RHEL / Amazon Linux / Fedora)
dnf --showduplicates list revit
sudo dnf downgrade revit-<VERSION_BEFORE_2024>
sudo dnf versionlock add revit
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.
