Nov 16, 2022 at 5:20 comment added Stephen Kitt @SeekingGuidance your problem is fixable, I just haven’t had time to write it up.
Nov 16, 2022 at 2:26 comment added pbies @SeekingGuidance that means your management expects from you to do impossible. You can't update one program, without updating libraries, and later next libraries. For now the solution is to upgrade whole system to next edition - that's the only way to upgrade program and libs to a specific version.
Nov 16, 2022 at 2:17 comment added Seeking Guidance Thanks for your responses. The apt update/upgrade was done first and, unfortunately, management did not like the result. @StephenKitt was correct. I find it hard to believe that there is no way to fix this. I provided all the displays above to show the resultant environment and hopefully shortcut this for anyone able to help with this. What library is missing or not updated causing the discrepancy in the version display? This is purely to resolve a hot and recently published vulnerability.
Nov 13, 2022 at 9:49 comment added pbies @StephenKitt I've given best resolution in that particular case. If you know better answer please feel free to share it.
Nov 13, 2022 at 9:00 comment added Stephen Kitt Of course, but the OP explicitly doesn’t want that: “I know a patch was available for 3.0.2, but, easier to answer to management this way vs. having to explain over and over again why the version still shows 3.0.2. So no need to comment on that.”
Nov 13, 2022 at 8:11 comment added pbies @StephenKitt and that's the reason manual installation does not work. If you go with these two commands it should install most recent version that this OS accepts.
Nov 13, 2022 at 7:14 comment added Stephen Kitt Look at the list of installed files: the updated library was installed, the problem is that it’s not found at runtime.
