Hello Community,

We have good news for you! The new releases (2.4.11, 2.6.5 and 2.7.5)
fix this serious upgrade bug for the rudder-agent package and many
others. You can safely upgrade the the latest minor versions on each branch.

I'd like to remind you that the latest recommended version for general
usage is Rudder 2.7.5. Rudder 2.6.5 is the current version tagged as
"stable" for highly critical environments (see
https://www.rudder-project.org/site/documentation/faq/#what_is_a_stable_release
to understand what this means).

We are sorry again for the inconvenience and thank you for your trust in us.

Have a good day!

Regards,

--
