Rollback Jitsi packages on Debian
Posted on vr 01 mei 2020 in webapps
Last night new JITSI packages were released that broke in my setup. Making sure this would be the last time I break production by auto updating, I downgraded the packages manually and after that put a 'hold' in place for these specific packages. I actually hate doing that, because it is trading security for stabililty, but right now it will have to do.
I recorded my steps for future reference
Check /var/log/dpkg.log for previous versions:
# grep upgrade /var/log/dpkg.log
