PSA: FTL v6.2 / FTL v6.2.1 crashes workaround

We are currently aware of FTL crashing with a segmentation fault on some systems – more detailed information about this issue can be followed on Github, here: https://github.com/pi-hole/FTL/issues/2473.

If you are currently affected by this issue, the easiest way to get things back up and running is to downgrade FTL to the previous version. There are instructions in the above Github thread that describe the steps to do so, however to make the process of downgrading more straightforward, we have created a special branch named release/v6.1 and you will be able to switch to it with the following command:

sudo pihole checkout ftl release/v6.1

Once we have gotten to the bottom of the issue, we will release a new version of FTL and announce it in all the usual places.

Huge apologies to anyone affected by this – and thank you for those that have reported the issue to us.
