3. If no update is available yet, DOWNGRADE to a release before 12.0.0 (Debian / Ubuntu)
apt-cache madison marklogic-server
sudo apt install marklogic-server=<VERSION_BEFORE_12.0.0>
sudo apt-mark hold marklogic-server
3. If no update is available yet, DOWNGRADE (RHEL / Amazon Linux / Fedora)
dnf --showduplicates list marklogic-server
sudo dnf downgrade marklogic-server-<VERSION_BEFORE_12.0.0>
sudo dnf versionlock add marklogic-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.
